The Netherlands has multiple musical traditions. Contemporary Dutch popular music (Nederpop) is heavily influenced by music styles that emerged in the 1950s, in the United Kingdom and United States. The style is sung in both Dutch and English. Some of the latters exponents, such as Golden Earring and Shocking Blue have attained world wide fame.
More traditional Dutch music however is a genre known as "Levenslied", meaning Song of / about life. These songs have catchy, simple rhythms and melodies, and are always built up on couplets and refrains. Themes are often somewhat sentimental and include love, death and loneliness. Essential are traditional Dutch musical instruments such as the accordion and the barrel organ. Though in the recent years, many levenslied-artists also use synthesizers and guitars for their music. Artists in this genere include André Hazes, Willy Alberti and Koos.
