#Gadgees attended yet another gig from #MakingTracks with the splendid Chango Spasiuk
@folkastro
The Gadgees are big fans of Making Tracks events and have seen some wonderful international music artists for bargain prices. This one was at Sage Gateshead and, unusually for both Making Tracks and Sage, was highly publicised on Social Media as one not to miss!
With no support act Chango Spaniak (with the largest accordion this Gadgee has ever seen); and the band - a brilliant flamenco guitarist (with a dual role on percussion); and the most wonderful and haunting violinist of classical background; played around 90 minutes in two sets.
The quality of playing was superb; although this Gadgee would have preferred the largely upbeat music being mixed with some melancholy foil!
Nevertheless, as usual a MT event proved to be a marvellous introduction to the music of another country - and in Chango Spaniak's case if all Argentinians are like him then they must have a very happy perspective on life.
