| In July 2011, the YavaBand Accordion Duo performed at the International Accordion Festival in Palanga, Lithuania, organized by Raimondas Sviackevicius. Their unique music was greeted enthusiastically by their audience. Their program included mainly compositions by Vladimir Popolzin, ‘Prelude and Allegro’, ‘Summer Evening in Palanga’, ‘Côte d'Azur’, and ‘Al and Bobby’, as well as a jazz arrangement of the Italian song ‘Volare’, by Modugno, the Gypsy romance ‘Long is the way’, by Fomin, the classic tango nuevo ‘Vuelvo al sur’, by Piazzolla, and the hit ‘Tequila’, by Rio. The audience shouted enthusiastic bravos to the mix of popular themes and jazz improvisations. Formed in 2009, the YavaBand Accordion Duo are Vladimir Popolzin and Yana Fedoruk from St. Petersburg, Russia. They have a modern and distinctive sound, and released ‘YavaBand - Beyond the Ocean’, their debut CD in 2010, featuring compositions and arrangements for solo and duo by Vladimir Popolzin. Successful at international accordion competitions, the duo have toured Germany in 2009 and 2010. In October 2010, the duo won first prize at the International Festival in Castelfidardo, Italy. In September and October the duo are on tour in Germany again, primarily in the Rhine-Main area. For further information email: a.brandtstaeter@netcologne.de |
