N’Djamena, October 05, 2025
On the occasion of the 35th German Unity Day on October 3, 2025, I had the honour to play the national anthems for Chad and Germany at the German Embassy in N’Djamena.
I love challenges! This one included the interpretation of official hymns for the accordion. To keep the official, celebratory styles, I created special solo-accordion versions for each hymn that suited the instrument’s range of registers by emphasising the classical melodies and styles to resemble a delicate single voice that slowly develops into a full orchestral sound.
Accordions are fun! 🙂
My thanks to the German Embassy N’Djamena for inviting me, as well as to N’Djamena Actu and others for covering me in their articles.
