CLARENCE BEKKER BAND

Clarence Bekker possesses the gift of touching the soul of those who listen to him. With his deep, vibrant voice and a spirit brimming with energy, he captivates audiences from head to toe. No one can remain unmoved in the presence of his magnetism. The strength of soul, funk, and pop greats like James Brown, Prince, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and Tina Turner is concentrated within him.

His extensive career has led to numerous successes under the pseudonym CB Milton, and he has also been the lead voice of internationally renowned groups such as Swinging Soul Machine, 08001, and Playing For Change, with videos on the internet that have surpassed 200 million views, in addition to seven world tours.
Life’s setbacks momentarily took him off his shining path, but years later, he started anew, from the first step, and with the utmost humility. Fortunately, we now have him back, with even greater strength and more notches on his belt to conquer the stage.

Listening to him live, you’ll forget that longing for Marvin Gaye that we all carry inside. You will rediscover your passion for Soul as if it were the first time.

In 2016, this wandering Surinamese decided to form his own band alongside some of Barcelona’s top musicians. Since then, the Clarence Bekker Band has done nothing but captivate all kinds of audiences. Their album “Changes” (2020), released under the Jazz Activist label, has solidified their position as one of the most powerful projects in the world of black music.
