Festival for the ear, creative excitement of the soul, woven with high professionalism in the expression and great enchanting workmanship brings the new discographic project, the CD of GORAN ALACHKI, an accordion virtuoso, author and arrange, entitled "FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONS".

This is a rare piece of music that radiates beauty, whose creative generator is Goran Alachki himself who has genetically built his emphasized musicality into this folk-dancing project as a message for our descendants to keep the authenticity and originality of the Macedonian folk-dancing tradition, and to serve as a bulwark that will protect it from foreign influences and depravity.

Out of the 19 folk dances seven are his original inspiration in which with incredible enthusiasm and exceptionally rich creative fantasy and motivation he has made an important project with high creative and reproductive standards that document the time and they are impressively emphasized with the beauty that fills our hearts with splendid feelings. As an author and arranger of the remakes of the old folk-dancing pearls and as an interpreter with his orchestra, he realizes here the three most important criteria, instrumental technique of a virtuoso, freshness and depth in the expression.

In the act of performing they present luxurious ritual practice, brought attractively with vivid spirit in quite a favourable atmosphere that builds a projection of creative vision in a big repertoire that radiates beauty and enchantment. With that technically supreme mastering of the accordion, with that brilliant virtuosity, the name of GORAN ALACHKI can be seen at the leading positions in the hierarchy of the biggest accordion virtuoso.

Having the gift of sophisticated sensitivity, he prefers the variant form and with the improvisations of a virtuoso and the gentle filigree decorated folk tunes brought to a refined concert style, he enlarges this melodramatic breath with exciting, attractive expression that radiates live brilliance. And who is the author of this representative folk-dancing edition with magnificent ornaments who is also decorated with other works?

GORAN ALACHKI - an accordionist with a vocation of a virtuoso - after winning the competition for the best accordionist of Macedonia in 1986 in the senior category, he made his first recording in the Macedonian Radio and Television, at that time RTS. His first recordings were Goranovo and Ancino folk-dance.

Until today he has realized about 300 authors pieces that include 5 albums, and he has established himself as a hit-maker in the field of the newly created Macedonian songs in folklore spirit. He is child of folk fest "Valandovo" where he has been member of the festival orchestra and author of 3 winning songs.

He has performed with our best instrumental artists starting with Gorgi Dincevski, from whose accumulated experience he upgraded himself, up to Vlatko Stefanovski, and became a maestro of folk music.

Important is the fact that now he has started to go the way of the world famous piper Pece Atanasovski, holding seminars, and performing concerts of the Macedonian folk music round the world to the lovers of the Macedonian folk-dancing tradition.

That's why with all my heart I recommend you to have this discographic pearl that is based upon the foundations of the Macedonian spirituality.
