The Origin
from De Brabantse Aap

New evidence has recently surfaced that sheds some light on one of Amsterdam's most colorful legends: that of De Brabantse Aap.
Around 1900 there was an organ grinder from Brabant on the Spui, known as Brabant Jos. Jos had a little monkey that always danced merrily to the music of the organ. Wearing a cap, the little animal went around collecting coins from passersby. It was a cheerful sight, and soon Jos and his little monkey were a household name in town.
