About Frederik van Pallandt

  • Frederik Jan Gustav Floris, Baron van Pallandt (4 May 1934 – 15 May 1994) was a Danish-Dutch singer best known as the male, guitar-playing half of the singing duo Nina & Frederik, which was together from the late 1950s to the late 1960s. Van Pallandt was born in Copenhagen, the son of a former Ambassador for the Netherlands to Denmark and Dane Else Dagmar Hanina Blücher, Countess of Altona.
  • He and his first wife, Nina van Pallandt, created a sensation first in Denmark and then throughout Europe with music rooted in folk, ethnic, and calypso styles and, at first, their plain stage attire.
  • Their recordings were released in the United States on the Atlantic Records subsidiary Atco, but did not enjoy the same success as they had enjoyed in Europe; they may have been ahead of the music curve which saw folk music enjoy a revival in the US in the early 1960s. The couple had three children: Floris Nicolas Ali, Baron van Pallandt (10 June 1961 – 13 October 2006), Kirsa Eleonore Clara, Baroness van Pallandt (born 9 August 1963), and Ana Maria Else, Baroness van Pallandt (born 30 October 1965) and continued their musical careers until they parted in 1969, with their marriage eventually dissolved in 1976.
  • The following year, on 10 May, van Pallandt married María Jesus de Los Rios y Coello de Portugal.
  • Together, they had one child – Daniel Tilopa, Baron van Pallandt, who was born 12 May 1977.
  • In 1979, van Pallandt bought Burke's Peerage from The Holdway Group.According to his first wife's memoir, van Pallandt was an avid sailor, and settled in the Philippines in the 1990s.
  • He became involved with an Australian syndicate involved in the trafficking of cannabis, using his yacht the Tiaping to transport the shipments.
  • On May 15, 1994, both he and his Filipina girlfriend Susannah were shot dead in a hut at Puerto Galera in the Philippines.
  • The murderer is believed to have been another member of the syndicate.
  • He was buried near his parents' grave in IJhorst in the Netherlands.
