This one is in via Jos who had the following to say followed by an English translation of the article.
"Years ago, I sent you information about Mario Mathy (I think 2019).
You published it on your blog. [you can find it in previous
posts featuring Mario Mathy here]
Afterward, Mario Mathy's 'Jumping Dance' went viral and achieved cult status.
Since your blog has become the most comprehensive and important documented synthesizer resource online, the attached article should also be saved for future history. It would be cool if you could share it with the rest of the synthesizer community. I translated it from Dutch to English using Google Translate.
Notice in the picture below the article that the photo was taken during the period when Mario endorsed Korg.
All I can see in the picture is Korg equipment. The song 'Love Dreams' is from his first album.
I expect most of the songs from his first album ‘Hello This is Mario Mathy’ were created using Korg synthesizers (in contrary to what you would expect from the album cover showing only casio).
After his first album, the single 'Jumping Dance' was released in Belgium. 'Jumping Dance' was from his second album, 'Music-Land'.
On his second album, you can hear a noticeable difference in his sound.
This likely resulted from switching from Korg to Casio synthesizers.
Mario was my piano teacher when I was about 15 years old."
