Garden Party with Laurence and Claude Cavagnolo, Paris - Franceby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
On the occasion of the arrival of the famous Russian duo ‘Bayan Mix’, led by Sergei Voitenko and Dimitri Khramkov, in France, Claude Cavagnolo and his wife gave a wonderful reception on their property near Paris. Present were two of the greatest stars of the French accordion scene, Yvette Horner and Marcel Azzola. Participating were many artistes from the Paris region as Jean-Marc Torchy, Isabelle Durand, Ludovic Beier, Philippe Servain, Sergio Tomassi, Marc Berthoumieux, joined by Jean-Louis Noton and Samuel Garcia on a visit to Paris, and Roman Jbanov - indispensable as French/ Russian translator - also fundamental for a significant penetration of Cavagnolo into the Russian market. A successful party with the participation of Fred Méla, the leader of ‘Compagnons de la Chanson’ having become a neighbour, and Michel Geiss, who has participated in all major concerts by Jean-Michel Jarre. All accordionists were also pleased to meet accordion tuner Thiérry Duchène. The Russian television was also present to capture this great moment of conviviality. Of course many other artistes were unable to be present for various reasons (valid) including the celebration of Mothers’ Day! |
