Cheerleaders

The Pédron name could soon be equally famous in Germany, not only due to the fact that with his newest album he will join the ACT-family, but also because it is his most personal and extensive project so far. “I had been playing standards, but now I wanted to play my own music,” says Pédron, who after his debut album “Cherokee” (2000) was widely celebrated as an excellent Charlie Parker interpreter. Something that has fascinated him since his youth are the ‘fanfare’ brass bands that are extremely popular in his home country. In Northern France, in the Netherlands and in Belgium they can be found almost everywhere, as both amateur bands and professional groups.

A look at the world of cheerleaders, the famous 'pom-pom girls'. Cheerleaders are synonymous with America, and represent a certain ideal of women and social organisation. Smiling young girls wearing brightly coloured uniforms high-kick and gyrate on the pitch side, cheering on sportsmen under the sunny skies of Texas, Arizona or California. They are a triumphant, radiant and at times, sexually ambiguous youth, from deepest traditional America.
