Kinderen voor Kinderen – Okido

Kinderen voor Kinderen is a Dutch children's choir that was formed in 1980 by Flory Andstadt and is maintained by the Netherlands public broadcaster VARA. The choir consists of children aged between 8 and 12 years and have released an album every year since 1980. Originally the albums were used to raise funds to provide children in developing countries with toys, but the toy campaign ended in 1991, since then the choir have occasionally released charity singles. The songs are based on ideas that have been sent in by children and are then transformed into songs by professional songwriters.

 

Okido is the new single from Kinderen voor Kinderen. It is a song to celebrate Koningsspelen [King’s Games], an annual celebration for Primary School children in the Netherlands that consists of Koningsontbijt [King’s Breakfast] and Koningssportdag [King’s Sport Day] and takes place on the Last Friday before Koningsdag [King’s Day], 27th April, each year. This is a great fun song from the kids that will have you up and dancing along, the instructions for the dance are included in the lyrics. The video looks like it was a great deal of fun to make and was recorded at the Soestdijk Palace in Baarn, Netherlands.
