“Spasiuk has revitalised the tradition to create something thrillingly modern and cosmopolitan" The Times
Chamamé is powerful traditional folk from the Argentine Northeast. Spasiuk, its most influential champion and innovator, calls it ‘the deepest swing in Argentina’. A fiery and sensitive virtuoso on the accordion, he displays an audacity rarely seen with musicians of this genre.
From a position of absolute openess and lack of prejudice, Spasiuk produces a rich mix of sound and tradition, where both legacy and synthesis, improvisation and composition, tradition and modernity play equal roles, making his music an intense listening experience that moves beyond boundaries of style and sound.
“Great artistry, virtuoso talents... it’s a deep, unfettered joy to indulge in Chango’s masterpieces.”
– Chris Moss, Songlines
“…[he uses] the chamamé vocabulary to highly inventive effect, with sighing accordion and romantic violin creating elegaic sound pictures, before Spasiuk’s impulsive fingerwork sweeps everything breakneck to the dancefloor.”
– Mark Hudson, The Telegraph
