Traditional music in Belgium: The Moncrabeau Royal Society & its 40 Molons

40 Molons (members of the Moncrabeau Royal Society) are active in Namur, collecting money for the poor since 1843. They enliven the city with menteries, stories that are full of lies, with traditional songs and with their kazoos. The Molons are true lovers of the kazoo, which is rather rare in Belgium. Be surprised by this generous and funny society!

Filmed in November 2022, January 2023 and September 2023.
