Pythagoras Music Fund has acquired the rights to the musical legacy of Dutch singer André Hazes, taking over the shares in Melvin Produkties, the production company owned by his widow, Rachel Hazes.
The fund, which includes composer John Ewbank, said the deal would leave Rachel Hazes in an advisory role. She said she wanted more time to rest after nearly 40 years of protecting her late husband’s legacy, adding that his name, music and rights should be treated with respect and preserved for future generations.
The purchase price has not been disclosed. Pythagoras Music Fund said the acquisition would not affect the future of Holland Zingt Hazes, the annual concert series featuring the singer’s best-known songs performed by various artists.
Founded in 2021, the fund has acquired music rights from dozens of Dutch and international artists, including Golden Earring and the Gipsy Kings, as well as songs associated with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
