    Tips

    February 2, 2021

    Karel Waeri is a purebred Ghent folk singer from the 19th century. He sang and entertained the people with fun (comical) songs as well as songs with a serious undertone. The statue next to the Sint-Jacobskerk was made in his honor by Walter De Buck, who can actually be seen as the successor. Walter de buck died in 2014 and was a versatile artist, but also went through life as a singer of folk songs (most famous song is' tVliegerke). The image incorporates a number of themes from Waeri's songs.
