644 Accordéonistes battent le Record du Monde Guinness, Kimberley - Canada
Par Rob Howard

644 Accordéonistes ont établi un nouveau record du monde, validé par le Livre Guinness des Records, lors du Kimberley International Old Time Accordion Championships. Les 644 accordéonistes, parmi lesquels figuraient Bernadette Conlon (Australie), Gary Blair (Ecosse), Igor Zavadsky (Ukraine), Janet Todd (USA) et Serge Duchesne (Canada), ont joué ensemble à guichets fermés au Kimberley Civic Centre pendant 29 minutes et 30 secondes, battant ainsi le précédent record du monde détenu par les Stedeker Dansers. L'ancien record avait vu 566 musiciens jouer de l' accordéon pendant 22 minutes, durant l' International Folklore Festival de Diepenheim, aux Pays-Bas, le 1er Juin 2000.

Dans un entretien avec Anders Johnson, Jeany Irvin a confié: "Je crois que beaucoup de gens présents l'an dernier sont revenus cette année en amenant des amis à eux, donc des accordéons, ce qui fait que nous n'avons eu aucun mal à trouver tous ces accordéons. L'an passé nous avions assez de gens, mais pas assez d' accordéons".

Chango Spasiuk gagne le BBC Award, Londres - Royaume-Uni
Par Rob Howard

L'accordéoniste argentin Chango Spasiuk a remporté récemment un BBC World Music Award. Argentin d'origine ukrainienne, Spasiuk est un représentant du style musical folk du Nord-Est de l' Argentine appelé Chamamé. Spasiuk et son groupe, dans lequel figurent Juan Nunez au bandonéon et le violoniste Victor Renaudeau, plus des percussions, une contrebasse et deux guitaristes acoustiques, sont les leaders de leur branche.

Chamamé est une musique qui a évolué, avec des influences de l'argentin Guarani et des genres amenés par les immigrants, africains, slaves, russes, Ukrainiens, Polonais, Italiens et Basques. Chango Spasiuk, qui fait la distinction entre le Chamamé issu de la campagne et le Tango venu des villes, dit: " Chamamé est une musique de la campagne, un endroit où la terre est rouge, la température toujours élevée , et où on trouve la jungle et de grandes rivières".

Au même titre que l'accordéoniste argentin Raúl Barboza, Chango Spasiuk est le représentant majeur actuel du Chamamé, mais il n'hésite pas à apporter quelques touches qui l'éloigne de la tradition; son Chamamé est richement coloré de rock, jazz et de références avant-gardistes. Né dans une famille de musicians en 1968, Spasiuk a débuté l'accordéon à 11 ans, et a sorti six albums en Argentine, trois desquels ayant été inclus dans la compilation internationale 'The Charm of Chamamé' (2003). Son dernier CD est 'Tarefero de mis Pagos' (2004).

Accordion Orchestra's 70th Anniversary Concert, Cologne - Germany
Contributed by Rob Howard

Cologne Accordion Orchestra's first 70 years were celebrated in fine style with a sell-out concert, before an audience of 2,000 people. The Willy Ketzer Trio's swing music got the evening off to a lively start, followed by the Blaeck Foeoess band.

The Cologne Accordion Orchestra, with fifty members, was conducted by Matthias Hennecke, who also played a little 48-bass accordion on an arrangement of 'Orpheus of the Underworld'. The concert finished with the audience out of their seats as all the musicians came on stage for a grand finale.

The whole event was a fitting tribute to the CAO's founder conductor, Heinz Gengler, who is still with the orchestra. All concerned are now already looking forward to the presentations and surprises in the anniversary concerts on the December 3rd and 4th in the University of Cologne.
 

AAA Announces $10,000 Winner in 2005 Festival, Michigan - USA
Contributed by Kevin Friedrich

Dearborn, Michigan was the venue for the American Accordionists' Association annual Competition and Festival, which sponsored one of the biggest prize pools for any accordion competition, with an impressive $10,000.00 First Prize, $3,000.00 Second Prize and $2,000.00 Third Prize.

Home town accordionist Julien Labro (originally from France) took the top honors with Alexander Poeluev (Russia) close behind and French accordionist Phil Bouvier (France) taking 3rd Place. The top three contestants were separated by less than one point!

The distinguished Jury for the competition included: Louis Coppola, Dick Contino, Jeff Lisenby, Michal Shapiro and Dave Westerskov. After hearing 19 contestants over the course of almost 10 hours, many of them already international champions, the jury was extremely impressed with the superior standard of the contestants and stated that it was almost impossible to choose three prize winners, when the playing level was so high.

The competition was made possible, under the auspices of the American Accordionists' Association through the generous donation of the prize money by Mr. Steve Stolaruk, who offered the competition funds to host the competition in the memory of his wife, the late Vivian Vivio Stolaruk. Mr. Stolaruk was so impressed with the standard of the competition, that in addition to the top three prizes totalling $15,000.00 he gave each of the other 16 contestants $250.00 each in appreciation of their efforts.


Pictured left, Julien Labro - USA/France, Alexander Poeluev - Russia, Phil Bouvier - France, , Steve Stolaruk and competition organizer Mrs. Faithe Deffner with a portrait of the late Vivian Stolaruk. At the conclusion of the final contestants program, when recognized for his magnificent financial support of the competition, the 300 strong audience who had been listening all day long to the various programs, gave Mr. Stolaruk a moving five minute standing ovation in appreciation of his efforts.

Below are the top 3 places in the competition. For a full list of results, please visit www.ameraccord.com
