In May 1984 the "Trivia­tas" from Cologne and, "Noot aan de man" from Amsterdam met at a gay festival in Aalkmaar (Netherlands) accidentally and nobody had a presentiment of what would arise from this meeting. 

At Whitsuntide 1985 "Homo Cantat" was born: It became a glamorous festivity and people who took part talked about it for a long time. Besides the already mentioned choirs there were "Chour accord" (later on: "Les Caramels fous") from Paris and the "Gay Kor Stockholm". Surprisingly the four choirs were really different. While the French offered a brilliant stage act, the Swedish impressed with an emotionally interpreted oratory of their leader, Falke Antonsson, texted by Walt Whitman. The Dutch presented rhythms full of verve with musical pre­cision and at last the boys from Cologne convinced their audience with a little Mozart divertissement.
