Amerindo Indo-Rock '62 Tour Magnet

In the late 1950s and 1960s, a second wave of migration brought thousands of Indos from the Netherlands to the United States. Settling heavily in Southern California—in towns like Bellflower, Whittier, and San Diego—and around Grand Rapids, Michigan, these families rebuilt their communities from scratch. They brought with them the explosive, guitar-driven sound of Indo-rock, a genre born in The Hague that blended krontjong rhythms with American rock and roll. This magnet imagines a fictional 1962 Indo-rock tour hitting the major Amerindo hubs, celebrating the backyard parties, community picnics, and recreation clubs where the Tielman Brothers' records spun on turntables, keeping the transcontinental Indo spirit alive.
