You could tell he was putting the entirety of his heart and his soul into the music he was playing. That in and of itself is a thing of beauty to behold.
I've seen him several ones on my way to work. He's really incredible. I've never seen such passion in a street musician :) And its frickin loud too! You can hear it miles away. Great, great great!
Energetic and very enthusiastic playing complete with vocals and what is really wonderful he enjoys what he is playing and shares with others... Bravo Sir !
ivan, me and my friend have been listening to your musical genius and was dancing having had a few beers and some brandy also a few cheeky cigerattes. we would like to thankyou for your magnificant soul. paul e and steven i esq, composer :)
As an accordion player myself I can say that its easy to play that music as he does but he has a style that makes it interesting. Very interesting. I was entertained by his vid.. Thats not easy to do with an accordion.
INCREDIBLE. his energy is great. so wat if he can't "sing" by pop-music standards. there is more soul in his voice than any big singer out there has to offer. lol i love that he actually gets the audience clapping along and stuff. he's bad-ass. a new favorite : )
Wondeful. I re-visit this video now and again after the first extreme thrill of watching such joyous musical fun. It's great to really, really live before you die. =)
I know people have different tastes, but you really consider it totally wack? I enjoyed the atmosphere of the song and it's rough delivery. Makes me think of a victorious pirate.
hey im directing this to everyone who hates this: if you have nothing good to say about him, then dont say anything at all. he loves what he does and thats all that matters
Very energetic playing with a modern approach to chords mixed with traditional emotions. ......................................does he have a therapist.
Hehe, this is just few different rhythms, and few chords.. This is far from the best on the World, if we can even discuss this title. There are many styles of Accordion playing, so You may say that he's the best World's Accordion player in his style! And he's probably the only player in this style, because he invented it!!! :)) Type in search Ljubisa Pavkovic, or Ionica Minune, or Petar Ralchev, or Jovica Djordjevic.. These are all different styles and Masters of Accordion music. Enjoy
Ivan is one of my favorite accordionists. He may be one of the best buskers in the world, but he's not one of the best accordion players in the world by a long, long shot. He is very good, though. Flight of the Bumblebee (Rimsky Korsakov) he's not gonna do.
it takes a lot of guts to get out there and play music for the public especially on your own, i thought he was pretty good. i hope all those spectators payed him something since they were all standing there listining to the man. thanks for posting
@LZmiljoona It´s not about who plays the music hardest to play,....it´s about how he expresses his music and how he celebrates it! And i think a big part of "the best ... " is also how you feel about the music ,if you like it or if you don´t and even if you say "no one is the best accordion player" you´re wrong everyone do have someone who´s the best for him. It all depends on how you think about the person about the music and last but not least what you think about his expression.
never remove this, i want to grow old with this song
i found this like 15 years ago. im still here. ill be here in 10 years from now. This is something i will not forget.
i saw this Hajek in Munich in 2008, that was unforgetible
I've been listening to this song for 10 years now.
OMG SAME! I bought an accordion because of this song
holy crap it surprised me bc i never thought he would b this good. Spectacular
After so may yers I still think this good 👍 stuff
Totally agree
Hajek, accordion's savage! He is total free on this street with his music. And it's great.
I love this guys energy and talent!! Amazing, really... I hope to play half as well as he someday.
You could tell he was putting the entirety of his heart and his soul into the music he was playing. That in and of itself is a thing of beauty to behold.
This guy is frickin amazing !!! Love his style style :) Raw, enthusiastic and fun of energy :)
a different style on accordion, very energetic play.
Excellent.
Very cool. It makes me happy to see somebody with some talent doing what they love and being unafraid. Thanks for the show!
Браво!
Really beautiful! There's something about this guy's performance that is marvelous. Lots of brio. He's a complete show.

I've seen him several ones on my way to work.
He's really incredible.
I've never seen such passion in a street musician :)
And its frickin loud too!
You can hear it miles away.
Great, great great!

Energetic and very enthusiastic playing complete with vocals and what is really wonderful he enjoys what he is playing and shares with others... Bravo Sir !
The Best part is his EURO Screams, reminds me of my Grandpa, Nice Jovial Performance.
ivan, me and my friend have been listening to your musical genius and was dancing having had a few beers and some brandy also a few cheeky cigerattes. we would like to thankyou for your magnificant soul. paul e and steven i esq, composer :)
Tak TaK TaK Wspaniały!
Super emotional content . He truly "feels" what he's doing. Super performance.
As an accordion player myself I can say that its easy to play that music as he does but he has a style that makes it interesting. Very interesting. I was entertained by his vid.. Thats not easy to do with an accordion.
ich hab ihn heute in hannover gesehen....einfach genial.....wahnsinnsstimmung
Ma człowiek talent. Podziwiam go.

Też tak mam właśnie słucham a nawet czasem to gram że słuchu na ako :)

I saw this guy two years ago in Munich and have wanted to hear him again ever since. Im freaking out now that I found him

I love this guy! We saw him live in Munich when we were visiting from canada!
The screaming is great. I don't know why did you laugh...
Ja die Melodien sind echt klasse
INCREDIBLE. his energy is great. so wat if he can't "sing" by pop-music standards. there is more soul in his voice than any big singer out there has to offer. lol i love that he actually gets the audience clapping along and stuff. he's bad-ass. a new favorite : )
oh god this makes the piano shiver in terms of how many things are going on at once
Wondeful. I re-visit this video now and again after the first extreme thrill of watching such joyous musical fun. It's great to really, really live before you die. =)
Him voice so awesome, so expressive, so pure.
Screaming at the top of your lungs + make it sound awesome = automatic like
Modo molto originale di suonare la fisarmonica, bravo.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Thats something new. New age music on accordion.
This is the beast
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thank you for the pan in the middle of the video. I was just waiting to see what was all around him.
That's truly awesome. I wish I could play like that. Though why is he missing the grille from the treble side of his accordion?
You said it 16 years later..crazy shit! Please stay alive and be well!!!!!
I know people have different tastes, but you really consider it totally wack? I enjoyed the atmosphere of the song and it's rough delivery. Makes me think of a victorious pirate.
Жизненно! Красиво! Артистично!
hahah
my friends and I were in Munich last week and we sang and dance to this song for like an hour!
he is super awesome!!!!!
cool melody
real original SECOND GUY that comes and puts his thumb up XD this video is awesome and I LOVE his screams!
he is an awesome accordion player
@igorstanivuk maybe not the best but with a refreshing honesty and directness. It's the chills he causes, that counts.
hey im directing this to everyone who hates this: if you have nothing good to say about him, then dont say anything at all. he loves what he does and thats all that matters
I saw him on 27.03.2010 (yesterday) in Nuremberg between "Lorenz Kirche" and "Weißer Turm".
Very nice Musik. I like him. 5*
He was playing an accordion I thought this was jus vocals?!?! -_- blown away
I'd really appreciate a studio recording of this!
Досить самовпевнений, поважуха йому:))

I not only love the version, but the Atittude, that's the guy!

Radu.

Napred Ivane neda se godinama !!!!!
Very energetic playing with a modern approach to chords mixed with traditional emotions. ......................................does he have a therapist.
Wtf hes making some kind of techno with his accordion...100% respect!
Just Love that Style and Energy x
You have awesome "Passion" in your playing ! Bravo my friend :-) .
Hehe, this is just few different rhythms, and few chords.. This is far from the best on the World, if we can even discuss this title. There are many styles of Accordion playing, so You may say that he's the best World's Accordion player in his style! And he's probably the only player in this style, because he invented it!!! :))

The accordeon genius, the master of accordeon, the Paganini of the accordeon... I must say, his humility is appealling!
Er ist ein Master für Leute wie Sie die nichts verstehen vor schöner Musik
Love him, Love Music, Love accordion ...
FANTASTIC!
sounds great!!!
ivan is a genious of akkordeon is incredible
the songs are very folk and he it's good
This sounds awesome!
So beautiful
awesome video, must feel great
sau sau sau sau geil einfach nur hammer hört sich hammer geil an 10* wenn es gehen würde =)
Wonderful!
It's so beautiful!
Well done!! :D
I like the melody! :)
... ami... Petur Ralchev e nai dobriat !
Ivane, Ivane... ti si lubitel.
IVAN...MUITO BOM PARABÉNS
Un grande. Ti adoro.
Wonderful.
So what makes this guy the best accordion player? His work is the same as many other accordionists, and doesn't really stand out at all
Look at that virgin go!
How does it feel to have mastered the one instrument nobody wants to listen to?
Amazing!
Q: What sound does an accordian make when you throw it into the dumpster?
A: The sound of an accordian hitting a banjo, and a set of bagpipes.
