Krist Novoselic, Nirvana in Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame - USAby Harley Jones |
 |
| Ein Ausschnitt aus einem Artikel des "The Atlantic", von Hallie Goldene, sagt: Wenn die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, später in diesem Jahr Krist Novoselic prämiert, wird es eine gut getimte Anerkennung sein. Nicht für seine Band - Nirvana braucht diesbzüglich keine Werbung mehr, jedoch für sein Instrument. Krist Novoselic wird wohl der erste dort integrierte Akkordeonist sein, eine Ehre, die zu einer Zeit kommt, wo das Akkordeon ein markantes Wiederaufleben in seiner Popularität erlebt. Stolze Akkordeon-Exzentriker wie wie Mumford & Sons, Arcade Fire und The Lumineers gewinnen Grammys und sind in den Top-Charts. Ältere wie Flogging Molly, They Might Be Giants, und Neutral Milk Hotel, genießen jetzt den gehegten-Kult-Status-Symbol. Akkordeon „Ewiggestrigen“ und Einzelhändler sagen, es fühlt sich wirklich wie ein Comeback für das Instrument an, dessen früheren Blütezeit in den 60er Jahren endete. |

 Italian accordionist Marco Lo Russo ended 2013 with a successful tour of Poland, where he and the singer Agnieszka Chrzanowska, promoted a new single ‘Nostalgia The Ty’, taken from the album ‘Piosenki do mezczyzny’ (Songs for the man). The single, produced by the East Polskie Nagrania record label, has also reached Italy, thanks to intense programing carried on Radio RAI-3. The concerts held in Poland during the first days of December were the forerunners of a forthcoming European tour, which will start from Poland, and which will see the two artists engaged for most of 2014. Marco Lo Russo ended the year by performing on December 27th at the Collegiate Church of San Michele Arcangelo, in Sermoneta, Italy, an event that was part of ‘Inferences D'Arte’ - an exhibition of visual arts and cultural events. The concert saw Marco Lo Russo perform with the duo La Boquita - Silvia Basurto (vocals and percussion) and Paulo Uccelli (stringed instruments and flutes). The concert was a mix of flamenco, Arabic music, Hindu, Mexican, Argentine tango and Latin American music. Marco Lo Russo first met the duo in Cuba last October, during the IV Festival de Música de Cámara Leo Brouwer, and they also met later in July during a tour of Mexico.

Aydar Gaynullin is now a well known composer, winner of several prestigious international accordion competitions, winner of many awards, Academy of Motion Picture Arts, and the composer of award winning film music. |
