statue af Karelke Waeri

Description

Nær indgangen til Sankt Jacobs Kirke står statuen af Karelke Waeri.

Statuen, kendt blandt folk som 'den Ghanse totempæl', viser helt øverst folkesangeren Karelke Waeri og runder omkring forskellige scener fra hans sange. Selve billedet er et værk af Walter De Buck, der for mange Ghentere er manden bag vores Ghanse folkesang 'Het Vliegerke'.

Denne statue blev rejst til ære for de første Ghanse Feste af Walter De Buck.

Karel Waeri var en populær folkesanger fra det 19. århundrede, som blev kaldt 'den bløde revolutionær'. Han var ikke meget højere end halvanden meter, han kunne næsten ikke spille violin, og han havde en dårlig stemme, men Karelke var et ægte fænomen. Helt elegant klædt gjorde han enhver optræden til et ritual. Han sang engagerede sange, men også komiske sange, og når der ikke var kvinder i salen, sang han også uanstændige sange.
