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 latter 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.
