Cathrinus (Rinus) Dijkstra (Drachten, 19th October 1969[1]), Better known as Zanger Rinus is a Dutch singer.
Biography[edit]
In 2009 Rinus released the song Hey Marlous, an adaptation of Schöne Maid, hast Du heut' für mich Zeit by the German singer Tony Marshall from 1972. Hey Marlous is about Dutch singer Marlous Oosting.[2] He became well-known among the general public because the television program De Wereld Draait Door paid attention to it in one of their broadcast in the section De tv draait door.[3]
After this followed more clips, such as Hé Kastelein (2010) and Met Romana op de Scooter. The latter song was put on YouTube on the 8th July 2011 and was viewed more than 300,000 times within five days.[4] The song also attracted international attention: on the American news blog The Huffington Post an article was dedicated to the video.[5]
His life partner Debora (since 1998) can often be seen in his video clips. Both also make an appearance in the song Make you pop by Don Diablo.
In his daily life, he is a woodworker in a social workshop.[6]
