Chango - Che of the accordion
Chango Spasiuk (Leeds Wardrobe, February 25)
The Argentinian accordionist, Horacio "Chango" ("the kid") Spasiuk, doesn't play the tango.
The tango, he explains via a helpful translator in the audience, is city music, but his is based on the chamamé country tradition of the Misiones, up in the north-eastern region of Argentina, bordering on Brazil.
But while his playing is quite different from the orquesta tipica which emanated from the Rioplatense working class urban areas of Buenos Aires in the first decade of the twentieth century, its rural origins don't mean it is unsophisticated. In fact, in its own terms, it is as innovative as the nuevo tango of the late bandéonista master,
Ástor Piazzolla.
His influences may be traced to his own cosmopolitan background, the Criollo and Guarani sounds of the border region where he was born, but especially the polkas he inherited from his Ukranian grandparents.
On stage he displays a charismatic persona, though never leaving his stool, his face lifted up in ecstasy and responding with infectious glee to the playing of his three equally virtuosic band-members. In his complete absorption in his music, he reminded me of no one so much as the rock guitarist, Carlos Santana.
Or, if you prefer, he radiates the power of an accordion-playing Che Guevara.

NEW MONTHLY SESSION IN LEWES
After a gap of several years, Sunday afternoon tune and song sessions will be returning to the bar of the Royal Oak in Station Street in Lewes. These will be on the last Sunday of the month from 3.30 - 5.30pm. starting on March 29th. They will be run by Vic & Tina Smith.

OTHER REGULAR SESSIONS IN THE LEWES/BRIGHTON AREA
Bryan Creer has taken on the task of detailing these, but has made changes to the way this is presented. Here is what he says:-
I have given free rein to my inner geek and written a new version of the Sessions page that works out the date of the next of each session (except
for the weekly ones where it seemed a bit pointless). This was inspired by the uselessness of "Fortnightly counting from 3rd October 2006".
I think it probably works almost all of the time (maybe). Would you like to change any references you make to it to
http://www.lewesarmsfolkclub.org/LAFC/Sessions.php

Bryan

Look out for a return of an old favourite. The free monthly Sunday afternoon sessions at the Royal Oak in Station Street are going to be revived in March. More details of this in next month's newsletter.
