He does not see the name Avsenik as a burden, but as a responsibility, says the 33-year-old musician in an OÖN conversation. “The greatest responsibility lies in the quality of the music, because Grandpa was always very careful, didn’t want to become a vulgar.” So it is important to his grandson that the name is not ruined. “Grandpa has never made big shows, the show was always the music.” This legacy is an obligation.
Saso Avsenik has been on the road with “his” Oberkrainer for 15 years and delights a large audience. The sound also appeals to the boys. What is the secret of Oberkrainer music? “The sound is special because it is a hybrid between Alpine music with accordion as well as jazz, swing and rock. This is dance music, because Grandpa played for entertainment for the people in the tavern. ”
The grandson uses the new studio technology for the old sound and is a bit cheeky in terms of content than the grandpa. This can be read on titles like “Hello little mouse”, of which there are some remixes and even a Japanese version. Millions of streams agree with the way of young Avsenik. As for style questions, he draws a comparison to the meal: “You have to try everything, everything else is a matter of taste.”
“A lifestyle”
Is it still nice to be a musician after 15 years? “Yes,” says Saso Avsenik, “it’s not just a job, it’s a lifestyle.” He was happy that his family follows his lifestyle. “There is a lot of music in our house.”
SASO, father of two daughters, to whom a son will soon come to, is inspired by “influences from all over the world”. The most important thing is that he likes the music. “This is the only way I can play them authentically on stage.”
