Sukay well received here

By CARMEN GUIDO

The Castlegar Arts Council
did it again! We are fortunate
to have an organization that
keeps alive and fulfills our
intellectual needs with a ser-
ies of cultural events,

Three hundred spectators
met at the Castle Theatre to
listen and enjoy a musical
group, Sukay, that brought
us not only different kinds of
melodies but introduced us to
a different culture, the music
that South Americans call
from the “altiplano” and that
relates to a group of coun-
tries that are united by a
common concert, Sukay gave
us themes from Ecuador,
Bolivia, Peru, and north of
Chile and Argentina, with
their musical tradition, that
has passed from father tr son
along the centuries and still
keeps its purity with their
ancient hand-make instru-
ments.

New. names were added to
our vocabulary; charango (a
small guitar or mandolin
made from an armadillo
shell), notched flutes named
kena and lechewuayos, and
25 other South American in-
struments. They also added
guitars and harps repre-
senting the incursions of
Spaniards and Irish mission-
aries into the history of the
Andean region.

Sukay is a word from the
ancient Quechua culture, and
means “to open the earth and
prepare for planting” and, as
the earth is prepared for
planting, so were the people
that were at the concert.

A miracle happened; one
culture (the American)
opened to receive the other
culture (the Latin American)
and during the time the four
young members’ of Sukay
were devoted to giving their
poetic interpretation of their
music. It seemed as if both
cultures were one — one
song, one rythmical clapping
of hands, one heart pumping
happily and one brotherhood.
AS a Chilean composer once
wrote: “If we are Americans,
e are brothers, we have the
dame hands, we have the
same flowers...”

Edmond Badoux, Quentin
Badoux, Javier Canelas and
Gonzalo Vargas got together
in Montreal and in 1979 they
formed Sukay. After touring

London critics
have praise

for Lavoie

LONDON (CP) — Cana-
dian dancer Serge Lavoie
admits it was a big jump
going straight from the Na-
tional Ballet school in Tor-
onto to principal dancer with
Britain's Northern Ballet
Theatre in Manchester.

But the movie is paying off
for the 18-year-old Montreal
native.

Since joining the company
in September, Lavoie has
been performing a lot, cer-
tainly far more than he would
jas a member of the Canadian
lcompany’s corps, which is
where he would be expected
ito go after graduation.

? “I'm doing quite a bit and
T'm getting a lot stronger,”
he said recently in an inter-
view’ backstage at Sadler's
Wells, where the company
performed for a week as part
of a five-week British tour.

He's also gaining the fa-
vorable attention of the Lon-
don critics who were un-
usually flattering in their re-
views.

“Of course I read the
critics," he said. “It's very
exciting, especially this week
when they've been so good.”

the music and tradition, they
started singing in San Fran-
cisco, their current home,
and touring Canada and the
States.

They come from various
backgrounds. Edmond Bad-
oux is a native from Swit-
zerland, and met Quentin
while performing a folk fes-
tival in New York. They
joined Jayier Canelas, a Bol-

ivian musican that they met
while travelling through Ecu-
ador, Peru and Bolivia re-
searching the music of the
Andes, The fourth member of
the group is Gonzalo Vargas,
who used to belong to several
well-known Bolivian folk
groups. ;

Their main goal, as Gon-
zalo Vargas says, is to ex-
press their feelings and show

their roots and culture
through their music. Gonzalo
Vargas has composed several
songs that belong to the
“neofolklore” based on the

Financial trouble is

TORONTO (CP) — Finan-

Asner elected

HOLLYWOOD (AP) —
Edward Asner, elected as the
new head of the Screen Ac-

he will try to stem a na-
tionwide erosion of unionism.

At a news conference at
the union's hadquarters, the
star of the Lou Grant tele-
vision series called himself “a
unionist” and said he believes
“Ronald Reagan favors Gen-

when the ballots were

William Schallert, who took
7,188 votes, and actor Mor-

votes.

Guild spokesman Kim Fel-
Iner said a turnout of about
86 per cent of the guild’s
50,000 members exceeded
the 25 per cent to 28 per cent
recorded in most past elec-
tions.

“No, God Forbid,” Asner

magician acts, live theatre,

and much more.

the results will become part
