Frederik van Pallandt

Son of ambassador Floris van Pallandt. Mother was Else Komtesse Blücher Altona.
He and first wife Nina van Pallandt were known as the Calypso duo 'Nina and Frederik', and were world famous in the late sixties. They toured together on the folk music scene and had many hit records in Europe.
In May 1994, while in the Philippines aboard his yacht, Baron Van Pallandt and his second wife were murdered by members of an Australian drug syndicate, of which he was a member.
In his recent book "Dope Stories," ex-drug smuggler Howard Marks claims that Van Pallandt was involved with a drugs cartel, transporting large amounts of cannabis in his own boat at the time of his murder in the Phillipines.
As "Nina and Frederik," the couple moved effortlessly in the 1960s between folk, calypso, pop and protest songs.
