Album lore

Bouillon De Charme, issued in July 1992 on CNR Records, gathers twelve tracks from Bart Van Den Bossche, a stalwart of the Flemish kleinkunst tradition. The album moves with a relaxed pop sensibility, threading easy listening and oldies influences through songs like "De Heuveltjes Van Erika" and "Van Antwerpen Naar Brussel." Van Den Bossche’s approach is unhurried, with understated arrangements that foreground his warm vocal delivery and storytelling rooted in Belgian life.The record’s modest resonance among a niche audience—just under a thousand listeners on Last.fm—belies its steady presence within the 90s Vlaams pop canon. Tracks such as "Ik Blijf Bij Jou" and "Opa Is Gek" exemplify the album’s blend of homespun charm and melodic clarity. For collectors interested in the quieter currents of Belgian songcraft from this era, Bouillon De Charme offers a quietly assured artifact.
