Charlie Watkins
Charlie WatkinsCharlie Watkins (1923-2014), Londres – Royaume-Uni
par Rob Howard

Charlie Watkins fut l’un des plus célèbres accordéonistes de la scène britannique, un homme de multiples talents. Il fut principalement ingénieur acousticien, connu internationalement pour ses différents modèles d’amplificateurs et la chambre d’écho Watkins Copicat, une invention de 1958 qui révolutionna l’industrie musicale dans le monde entier.

Sa société, Watkins Electric Music (WEM), fondée en 1949 avec ses frères Reg and Syd, concevait et fabriquait des guitares électriques ( par ex. la ‘Watkins Rapier Guitar’) et était célèbre dans les années 60 et 70 comme pionnière dans les systèmes son des festivals rock de plein-air.

Charlie watkins fut l’ingé-son des Rolling Stones lors du fameux concert ‘Stones in the Park’ de 1969 et pour ceux de Bob Dylan et Jimi Hendrix à Glastonbury en 1970.

Les produits WEM furent et sont couramment utilisés par Elton John, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, The Byrds, Pink Floyd, et les Rolling Stones, pour n’en citer que quelques uns.

Dans les années 80, Charlie Watkins cessa de travailler avec les musiciens pop et se consacra désormais aux accordéonistes, développant et commercialisant sa gamme d’amplificateurs pour accordéon WEM ‘Songbird’ et autres produits d’amplification.

Il a également produit sa propre marque d’accordéons, distribué une gamme d’accessoires et publié son magazine gratuit : ‘Accordion Today’.

Charlie et sa femme June ont contribué de façon substantielle à des œuvres de charité. Il fut un grand humaniste utilisant largement sa renommée au bénéfice des autres.

Charlie Watkins, personnalité hors du commun, dotée d’un grand sens de l’humour, est décédé le 28 octobre 2014 à l’âge de 91 ans. Il laisse son épouse June.

João Gentil CD Release in December, Buenos Aires - Argentina

João Gentil‘ConLatinidade’ is inspired by the travels of the Portuguese musician and accordionist João Gentil, especially in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Italy and France. This debut album expresses Latin aromas and flavours through the sounds of the accordion, as well as the acordina. These are accompanied by a group violin, piano, bass, and Portuguese guitar players, as well as other guests, such as the voices of Luanda Cozetti, Viviane, Rita Marques, Selma Uamusse, JP Simoes recorded on the album. We can also expect to hear João Gentil’s own voice in this work.

This is a unique and outstanding musical selection; a true and moving musical journey conceived and written in Buenos Aires, Argentina and directed and interpreted by João Gentil itself.

The whole album was recorded and pre-produced by João Gentil in Buenos Aires during his several stays in the Argentine capital. The post-production stage and remaining recordings were finalized in Coimbra - Portugal.

In this work we can also enjoy the presence of the Portuguese Fado guitar in Piazolla’s tango- a true marriage between Tango and Fado, between Argentina and Portugal.

The CD available next December on iTunes or by order to email: joaogentil1@gmail.com
