Billboard (p.38) - "The last six songs on the album, the Duos, are among the best -- fairly elemental arrangements played with tremendous soul."

Chango Spasuik is a gifted Argentinian accordionist who has parlayed his abiding fascination with the folk music of Eastern Europe, America, Portugal, and his native Argentina into a rewarding and stylistically eclectic career. Chango is best known as a master of the Argentinean folk form called chamame but his interpretations of styles as diverse as fado, descarga, and even Cuban son are equally remarkable, performed with frantic energy and restless syncopation.

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

MORE ABOUT THIS TITLE

Innovative Argentinean accordion virtuoso and composer Chang o Spasiuk’s latest CD is entitled Pynandí (Los Descalzos) (Barefoot), from an indigenous Guaraní word, referring to that nation’s impoverished rural populations. This is quite fi tting as, like American blues, Portuguese Fado and Argentina’s own tango, the sunny, lilting chamamé was at one time considered too lower-class to be of interest to educated listeners. But that was before Spasiuk, with his uninhibited stage demeanor and fl ying blond hair, put his spin on it, delighting traditionalists while intriguing rock and jazz audiences. The current album is a love letter to the land of Spasiuk’s birth, capturing the red earth, blinding heat, and rough good humor and warm fellowship of laborers heading out for an evening’s fun. Each of the 15 tunes harbors a contradiction of some kind; although this music is seductively accessible, it is also anything but easy listening – in the best possible sense.
