Elevate October 2016 | Air Serbia

B eogradski džez festival ove jeseni ponovo dovodi srpsku prestonicu u sam centar kulturnih zbiva- nja. Pod sloganom Plane- ta džeza , ovogodišnji 32. festival predstavlja najveće svetske umet- nike, a među njima i najbolji fla- menko-džez kvartet na svetu Fla- me&Co , na čijem je čelu Španac Antonio Serano. Publika će 27. oktobra u Sava centru moći da uživa u čudesnim zvucima njegove usne harmonike, koju je zasvirao kada mu je bilo samo sedam godina. U razgovoru za Elevate Serano kaže da je za tu ljubav kriv njegov otac… – Moj otac je bio čovek od na- uke, ali i čovek sa neverovatnom strašću za muziku. Naročito je vo- leo usnu harmoniku, a sve ono što je naučio kao inženjer primenio je u načinu sviranja. Mnogo sam na- učio od njega. Za mene je to bilo kao igra. Tek godinama kasni- je poželeo sam da se time bavim profesionalno. Poželeo sam i da budem kao moj otac. Nije mnogo prošlo do pozi- va čuvenog Larija Adlera. Virtuoz usne harmonike čuo je malog An- tonija 1987. godine i pozvao ga da s njim zasvira na sceni u Parizu. Seranu je tada bilo tek 13. – Bio sam uzbuđen, ali pre- mlad da bih uopšte shvatio važ- nost toga što mi se dogodilo. Na- učio sam još tada nešto od Larija što nikada nisam zaboravio. Mo- raš da voliš ono što radiš. Samo tako će ono što radiš uspeti da te nadmaši. Antonio svira mnogo instru-

The Belgrade Jazz Festival is once again bringing the Serbian capital into the centre of cultural events this autumn. Under the slo- gan “Planet Jazz”, this year’s 32nd edition of the festival presents the world’s greatest jazz artists, inc- luding the best flamenco jazz qu- artet in the world, “Flame & Co”, which is led by brilliant Spaniard Antonio Serrano. On 27th October at the Sava Centre the public will be able to enjoy the wonderful sounds of his harmonica, which he began playing when he was only seven years old. In this exclusive inter- view for Elevate, Serrano says that his father is to blame for that love. - My father was a man of scien- ce who had an amazing passion for music and especially for the harmonica. What he learned from studying engineering he applied to teaching, and I benefited a lot from that. For me, it was like a game. It was only years later that I decided I wanted to be a professi- onal. I wanted to be like my father. It was not long before that- Serrano received call from the gre- at Larry Adler. Larry heard him play in 1987 at a harmonica festi- val and invited him to play in Pa- ris. Serrano was only 13 years old at the time. - I was excited, but I was too young to really understand the si- gnificance of what happened. But there is one thing I learned from Larry that I never forgot: you have to love what you do. Serrano play lots of instru- ments, but has chosen the

Flamenko je veoma sofisticiran. Da biste ga svirali, morate biti puni strasti, ali i ozbiljno poznavati ritam, melodiju i harmoniju Flamenco is very sophisticated. To play it requires a lot of passion, but also an understanding of rhythm, melody and harmony.
