The Swedish accordionist Alf Hågedal at a gig in Stockholm in May 2011. The march Chinka Bazara was presumably composed in the early, or mid, 20's. Somewhat later it was polished and prepared for publication by Ragnar Sundquist's colleague Sven Hylén.
Apart from the Trailer ( • Trailer: @AlfHagedal, ... ) released on February 28th, "The Final Ultra Model Series" consists of sixteen videos in total - scheduled to be released from March til June 2023. They will be released in exactly the same order as they were presented during the actual gig. Chinka Bazara was thus the opening piece. Bear this in mind before judging on the picture quality etc.
Subtitles in English are available as usual. Please make sure to enable C.C. on your KZread-player/device/app etc. In this particular video it comes in handy near the end.
Filmed, recorded and photographed by Peter Karlsson, Skärholmens Dragspelsklubb, May 15 2011.
Mixed & edited by Alf Hågedal, January - February 2023.
The in-video disclaimer announcement:
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Unfortunately, the audience was particularly loud during large portions of this opening march.
Believe me, while I was working on the mix, and again during the mastering process, a lot of foul
swear words were uttered in sheer frustration…
I sincerely hope that your ears will be more forgiving as I now rewind to the beginning of the piece.
And perhaps, with a bit of luck, these mysterious animal sounds will disappear at the same time.
🇸🇪 Tyvärr var publiken synnerligen högljudd under stora delar av denna öppningsmarsch.
Tro mig, medan jag arbetade med mixen, liksom under masteringfasen, yttrades många
fula svordomar i ren frustration…
Jag hoppas innerligt att dina öron kommer vara mer förlåtande när jag nu spolar tillbaka till början av stycket. Och med lite tur kanske de mystiska djurlätena försvinner på samma gång.
