Joost Belinfante (Voorburg, october 8, 1946) is a Dutch musician. From 1966 to 1973 he was member of Dutch folk band CCC Inc., with which he still performs. He has released two Dutch language records under his own name: Fante in 1982 and Als Een Rivier in 1997. But he will be remembered mostly because of his close association with Doe Maar. Although he was never an official member, he's present on all their records, playing brass and violin. Undoubtly, his most famous contribution to Dutch music has been his song Nederwiet, which can be found on the Doe Maar record Skunk. In this song he explains how to grow and harvest your own weed plants. This song shares with all Belinfante's songs a certain cheerful and sunny sense of humour.
