The Emy Drăgoi & Jazz Hot Club Romania concert-show
What happens when the music from the "City of Lights" meets the music from "Little Paris"? The result is a show full of energy, color and passion, a show that brings together and then transmits to its audience the melodic sonority of the accordion, the scented music from the famous Parisian neighborhoods and the authentic Romanian folk harmonies reinterpreted.
Grande Orchestra & Emy Drăgoi have laid the foundations of a musical collaboration full of fantasy and originality, which will carry the spectator from the streets of Paris, from the bridges on the Seine, and the small bistros in Montparnasse to the Mogoșoaia bridge in Bucharest, the famous Royal Palace, and the famous passage Lipscani. Everything in a festive atmosphere, in the style of the 20's and 30's, in the rhythms of some musical genres - swing and manouche - with a special charm, which have made and are still making history.
An event show, which brings to the audience exhaustive artists: Emy Drăgoi, Maia Morgenstern, Toni Grecu, Medeea Marinescu, Anca Sigartău, Aylin Cadîr.
The manner in which the artists present themselves to the public may seem unique, but it is fully justified by their artistic background.
Emy Drăgoi is an artist whose introduction would be redundant. He won countless competitions, performed on the most important stages of the world, reached the performance of being designated in France - the homeland of the accordion - as the "Accordionist of the Year".
“I was born in Prahova, in a family of musicians from Valea Slănicului. My parents, uncles, and more distant relatives were all well-known, and used to be invited to weddings and other parties. My father was teaching accordion lessons, and I keep alive in my mind the image of my childhood summers when he used to sit for hours surrounded by his students under the walnut tree in our yard. Both my parents were musicians, both instrumentally and vocally, being highly appreciated for performing old fiddle songs.
My whole childhood was about music, and so is my entire life. Among all the beautiful memories that I have, I will never forget the day when, at the age of 3 years, I received my first accordion as a gift. On the stage is where I feel best. Out of respect for the public, I am never satisfied with what I do and I always aim for more. I have always admired those who have managed to achieve high performances in one field or another, therefor also in music. Of course, I am referring to the best in the field, but not in order to copy their act, but to try my best to be better with every performance. You have our word that this will be a show never seen before in Romania, you can't miss that."
The performance will be carried out under the artistic direction of the accordionist Emy Drăgoi, considered the best jazz accordionist of the moment and declared "Artist of the Year" in France, the country where he completed his musical studies. He will be accompanied on the stage by the Jazz Hot Club Romania - Ady Flautistu, Lucian Maxim, Alex Man, etc., an orchestra that brings together valuable instrumentalists.
