Danibal

Danibal is one of the very few Jew's harp players in the Netherlands. He fell in love with this tiny ancient instrument in 1999 together with his interest in throat singing. As the vocalist of Dial Prisko (Utrecht NL) the Jew's harp also claimed a place in their melancholic songs. Despite the fact that the sounds of the Jew's harp are very folksy and sometimes ambient, Danibal tries to make plunky pop music, involving quirky melodies and dentist impressions. His solo-project is very playful and surprisingly minimal.

His solo-project is very playful and surprisingly minimal. Together with human beat-boxer Ramon Kool they form the duo Plunk.

Their music is best to be described as freestyle, somewhere between hip hop and world music. Danibal's first album Ploing!
