19ème festival d'accordéon - Israëlby Harley Jones |
 |
 Vidéo: Emil Aibinder et son groupe.Le festival annuel d'accordéon israélien a eu lieu récemment dans l'amphithéâtre de Nahalal, un village agricole situé dans la vallée d'Yizrael, pendant les «journées du lait et du miel». L'événement est dédié à la mémoire de Yehuda Oppenheimer, qui détient le titre de «Le prophète de l'accordéon en Israël». Plus de 3 000 personnes de tout le pays se sont rassemblées pour écouter de talentueux accordéonistes israéliens et renommés jouer une variété de musique classique, balkanique, française, piazzolla et israélienne. Parmi les artistes, il y avait Emil Aibinder (photo ci-dessous avec son groupe), dont le groupe populaire s'est beaucoup produit. Parmi les autres artistes figuraient Uzi Rosenblat (image à droite), Vitali Podolsky (image à droite en bas), Yossi Gruska et le Bustenaim Orchestra (plus de 30 musiciens - accordéon et autres instruments, illustration ci-dessus). Cet orchestre a été fondé par Shuki Medanes, étudiant de Yehuda, et dirigé par M. Hodorov. Il y a 25 ans, Techiya et Shmulik Kalosh ont commencé le rassemblement d'accordéon dans la cour de leur maison. Shmulik était l’étudiant de Yehuda et Techiya en était l’organisateur. Au fur et à mesure que le festival grandissait, il se déplaçait dans la vallée de Yizrael. Techiya et Shmulik sont le «cœur battant» du festival alors qu’ils invitent les musiciens et mettent en place le programme. |
