As part of our 'Development' strand, FAO runs externally funded projects aimed at promoting folk and traditional music, song, and dance in the Oxfordshire region.

If you have a project idea, why not get in touch to see if we can help? We are able to offer support on all aspects of putting a project together, including project development, grant writing, budgeting, administration, marketing, and management of projects.

As an organisation we are able to access funding streams not open to individuals, and would be very happy to hear from anyone who is interested in running a folk project in the Oxfordshire region.

PIF - concert with Marco Gemelli - Castelfidardo/Italy

by Diatonic News
PIF
Is it possible to render the essence of Piazzolla’s music with a different ensemble than the one originally thought by the author? MARCO GEMELLI has demonstrated in an extraordinary way his ability to capture the essence of Piazzolla’s music, because he has always been able to 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙞́𝙤 (“Fishing a shark is a challenge”), but much more exciting is making a revolution in Tango.
EL TIBURÒN constitutes a wonderful rereading of the proposed pages, an enrichment, a renewal… in the renewal, thanks to the accompaniment of the Cuarteto Del Misterio composed with Paolo Angelucci (Violin I), Kristina Esekova (Violin II), Anton Bianco (Viola) and Antonio D’Antonio (Cello).

Grupo Intocable Achieves No. 4 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay Chart

by Rita Davidson Barnea
Video: “No Se Vuelve a Repetir” (Video Oficial)

Intocable, the Tejano/Norteño group from Zapata, Texas, has achieved a new milestone on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart. The group’s latest single, “No Se Vuelve a Repetir,” has climbed to No. 4 on the chart dated Aug. 26, 2023, extending its record for the most top 10s on the list to 47.

The song, which was released on March 16, 2023, via Good I Music, is the second track from Intocable’s forthcoming album (release date to be announced). It was written by Carlos Preciado and Ricardo Muñoz, the lead vocalist and accordionist of the group. According to Luminate, the song gained 52% in audience impressions in the U.S. during the week ending Aug. 17, earning the Greatest Gainer honor.
Intocable broke the record for the most top 10s on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart earlier this year, when “No Me Hablen de Amor” rose from No. 12 to No. 2 on the chart dated Jan. 28, 2023. The group surpassed Los Tigres del Norte, who held the record with 45 top 10s since the chart’s inception in 1994. Since then, Intocable has added two more top 10s to its tally: “Un Poquito Tuyo,” which peaked at No. 1 in April, and “No Se Vuelve a Repetir”.

“No Se Vuelve a Repetir” also rises to a new peak on the overall Latin Airplay chart, jumping from No. 31 to No. 14. The song is part of Intocable’s Evolución Tour 2023, a 61-date tour around North America, which will conclude with Texas dates in November.
Follow Tejano Nation on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and subscribe to our YouTube channel to keep up with everything Tejano. Listen to new Tejano music first with our Spotify playlists and iHeartRadio podcast.

Intocable group members include:
Ricardo Javier “Ricky” Muñoz – (Lead Vocalist, Accordion)
René Orlando Martínez – (Drums, Chorus)
Sergio Serna – (Percussion)
Johnny Lee Rosas – (Second Vocals, Bajo Sexto)
Alejandro Gulmar – (Bajo Sexto)
Felix Salinas – ( Bass )

Intocable is one of the most influential groups in the Tejano/Norteño music scene today. Their road to success began over twenty five years ago in Zapata,Texas, when friends Ricky Muñoz and René Martínez dreamed of bringing their songs to the world as they crafted a unique and extraordinary style of music which expertly fuses Tejano conjunto music, Norteño folk rhythms, pop ballads and rock.

After years of dedication and passion, the dream became an indisputable reality. With #1 hits such as “Robarte un Beso,” “Prometí,” “Te Amo (Para Siempre),” “Culpable Fui (Culpable Soy),” their latest “Tu Ausencia,” as well as fan favorites like “Dame Un Besito,” “Eres Mi Droga,” Enséñame a Olvidarte,” “Sueña,” “Contra Viento y Marea,” “Llueve,” “Arrepiéntete,” among others, INTOCABLE continues to entertain and delight audiences in both the United States and Mexico.

Come out for the 41st Annual Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Music Festival happening on September 1 and 2, 2023 featuring:
Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band
Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas
Geno Delafosse and French Rockin Boogie
Jeremy Fruge and the Zydeco Hotboys
Rusty Metoyer and Zydeco Crush

Yambilee Festival Grounds

1939 W Landry Street

Opelousas, LA 70570

The 41st Original Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Festival is live! Organizers are preparing, trying to satisfy the demand for Creole Culture and Zydeco Music. Festival executive director Lena Charles says that locally and nationwide, music fans are eager to return to Southwest Louisiana to experience firsthand the original “keepers of the culture, the tellers of the stories.” The festival takes place on September 2, 2023at the Yambilee Festival Grounds with multiple activities leading up to that date. This year the festival pays tribute to Pioneers, the ones who help the original organization of “The Original Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Music Festival".

The lineup includes hit-makers such as Grammy winner Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band, Grammy nominees Geno Delafose & French Rockin’ Boogie and Nathan Williams & the Zydeco Cha Cha’s, Jeremy Frugé & The Zydeco Hot Boyz, Rusty Metoyer & Zydeco Krush and Special Guest, “The Legend Chris Ardoin & NuStep Zydeco.”

The Treasures of Opelousas, a group of concerned citizens, feared that Zydeco and Creole music were dying. In response, they organized the first festival in 1982. Forty-one years later, they are still celebrating and promoting the best of creole culture, traditional food and of course, The Best of Zydeco Music.

The schedule begins with a pre-party on September 1, 2023 and ends with a day jam pack-full of Zydeco celebrations on September 2, 2023. Check out the Schedule of Events for more details. www.zydeco.org

Ein Dutzend „Mundi-Verrückter“ fand sich in Klingenthal – seit mehr als 150 Jahren Hochburg der Mundharmonika-Produktion – zusammen, um das Hosentascheninstrument verstärkt ins Licht der Öffentlichkeit zu rücken und einem möglichst breiten Publikum zugänglich zu machen.
Seinen Höhepunkt erreicht das Festival „Mundharmonika live“ jährlich mit der »musikalisch-kulinarischen Live-Nacht«. Pendelbusse bringen die Gäste zu den einzelnen Veranstaltungslokalen. Öffentliche Vorspiele, Workshops und Führungen durch die Mundharmonika-Fabrik runden das Festivalprogramm ab. Zum Festival besuchen jährlich weit mehr als 1000 Gäste Events in über zehn Veranstaltungsorten.
In der ältesten Mundharmonika-Fabrik der Welt, C. A. Seydel Söhne GmbH, wurde die „bluesfactory“ geschaffen. Sie hat sich zum „Megatreff der Mundi-Szene“ entwickelt.

Durch die Teilnahme namhafter Künstler und durch Besucher unter anderem aus USA, Brasilien, Neuseeland, Tschechien, Polen, Ungarn, Holland, Belgien, Deutschland u.v.a. ist unser Klingenthaler Festival seit seiner Erstauflage zu einem internationalen Höhepunkt in der Mundharmonika-Szene gewach

Folk Music Festival „Griežynė“- Lituania

by Diatonic News
folk music festival „Griežynė“- Lituania
6-10 September 2023
International instrumental folk music festival „Griežynė“ is the oldest such genre event in the Eastern Baltic region. It was 1992 when the idea of two enthusiasts of instrumental folk music Algirdas Klova ir Arūnas Lunys came true and takes place every two years in Vilnius.

The name of the festival was chosen purposefully. Griežynė is a dialect word for a fiddle, one of the main folk instruments in Lithuania and other countries. Vilnius gathers a great number of fiddlers from different sides of the world.

The festival seeks to familiarise people with folk music performers, folk instruments, and traditional music of different countries. It purposes to demonstrate to the festival guests the authentic tradition of Lithuanian folk music performance. In 14 years the festival has already hosted musicians from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Finland, England, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Peru, Ireland, Wales, USA, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Iran, Turkey, China and many other parts of the world.

„Griežynė“ is more than concerts. It includes shows of musical instruments and exhibitions of pictures featuring folk music performers, folklore documentaries presenting ethnographic material on customs, musical instruments' production, meetings with the musicians, and instrument craftsmen.

Musique traditionnelle du Québec avec Alexandre Caron - Canada

by Diatonic News
Alexandre CaronDimanches 3 septembre 2023 - 13h30 (Scène extérieure au musée de l’accordéon – 301, boulevard Taché Est) :

Magnymontois d’origine, Alexandre B. Caron figure parmi les accordéonistes importants de la région. Son jeu solide et cadencé s’inspire des maîtres de la région, notamment celui de Marcel Messervier. Alors qu’il débute à peine l’apprentissage de l’accordéon, Alexandre se mérite quelques récompenses qui lui valent quelques passages télé, notamment aux « Découvertes de Monsieur Pointu » et à « La cour des grands », émission alors animée par Grégory Charles. En 2009, il se mérite le prix de la relève lors des Canadian Folk music awards. Depuis quelques années, il participe aux vidéos didactiques du Réseau Québec Folklore dans lequel il partage sa passion du répertoire traditionnel québécois. Il intègre de plus en plus des airs du répertoire irlandais dans lequel il fait preuve d’une grande maîtrise

Topette
Traditionelle Musik ist dazu geeignet, Kommunikation zu fördern und Menschen verschiedenster Kulturen zusammenzuführen. Das Windros-Festival bietet somit die Gelegenheit, verschiedene Volksmusiken der Welt und ihre Musiker und Tänzer kennenzulernen. Man lernt das Fremde besser verstehen und präsentiert selbst die eigene Kultur und Musik vor einem internationalen Publikum. In einer Welt, in der Kulturen immer näher zusammenwachsen und friedliches Miteinander nicht selbstverständlich ist, ist Musik und Tanz ein Symbol für Gemeinschaftlichkeit.

TOPETTE!! (GB/FR)

Topette!! nehmen eine einzigartige Stellung in der aktuellen Folk- und traditionellen Musiklandschaft ein. Die Zusammenarbeit der fünf hoch angesehenen Musiker aus zwei Ländern ist eine perfekte Idee, die, gäbe es sie nicht schon, erfunden werden müsste. Doch Topette!! sind keine bloße „Projekt“-Band. Topette!! sind ein echte Band – verbunden durch Freundschaft ebenso wie durch ihre gemeinsame musikalische Vision.

Trio Jacques, Ouellet, Aucoin - Canada/Québec

by Diatonic News
Trio Jacques, Ouellet, Aucoin
Vendredi 1er septembre 2023 / 20h – Concert d’ouverture (Salle Edwin-Bélanger, École secondaire Louis-Jacques-Casault – 141, boulevard Taché Est) :

Québec sont les thèmes qui jalonnent le parcours musical de Raynald Ouellet. Très tôt, il se passionne pour cette musique qu’il s’emploie à connaître sous toutes ses facettes et qu’il marquera aussi par ses œuvres originales et son interprétation maîtrisée et nuancée. Sa carrière musicale a permis de faire rayonner notre musique sur les scènes du Québec de même qu’ailleurs au Canada et dans le monde.

Fondateur du Carrefour mondial de l’accordéon, il propose une véritable tribune pour la musique traditionnelle du Québec qui s’affirme fièrement en côtoyant ces accordéonistes venus de partout dans un contexte d’ouverture sur le monde et de dialogue entre les cultures. Par diverses initiatives, il contribuera à conserver les savoirs traditionnels et à renforcer leur transmission, à diriger les projecteurs sur une relève forte et sur ces accordéonistes de tous les coins du Québec qui permettent au public de prendre la mesure de la vitalité, de la diversité et de la richesse créatrice de notre musique.
Sabin Jacques et Rachel Aucoin forment un duo en musique comme dans la vie depuis 1999.Leur duo témoigne d’une extraordinaire complicité, qui s’entend et se sent. Ayant joué pour des centaines de veillées de danse, tant au sein du trio Domino que du quatuor Raz-de-Marée, leur musique est imprégnée de cette irrésistible joie de vivre. Par leur enregistrement d’oeuvres choisies de Philippe Bruneau intitulé Grandes Rencontres, ils ont mérité de prestigieux prix tels le Prix canadien de musique folk, le Prix du Patrimoine, le trophée Aldor, le prix Gus Viseur (Paris) et une nomination au prix Opus. Ils nous amènent résolument ailleurs, quelque part entre la soirée de danse et le grand concert classique.

The Ins and the Outs of the Accordion

„Iontach" im September 2023 - DE

by Diatonic News
„Iontach
„Iontach" ist irisch und heißt „wunderbar / hervorragend" und bisweilen auch „eigenartig / merkwürdig". Heimische und internationale Pressestimmen beschreiben die konzertante Musik der deutsch-irischen Formation jedoch eindeutig im erst genannten Sinne.

Die im Jahre 2003 gegründete Band besteht aus den drei renommierten Musikerpersönlichkeiten Siobhán Kennedy (IRL), Nick Wiseman-Ellis (GB) und Jens Kommnick (D), die in dieser Zusammensetzung seit 2016 gemeinsam musizieren. (Bevor Nick zum Ensemble stieß, gehörte Gründungsmitglied Angelika Berns [Gesang, Bodhrán, Piano, Whistle] zur Stammbesetzung.) Die abwechslungsreiche Mischung aus sensiblem, mehrstimmigem Harmoniegesang einerseits und feinen Arrangements schwungvoller Tanzmusik und lyrischer Melodien andererseits macht die Gruppe zu einer Ausnahmeerscheinung. Zudem gehört sie durch den großen Umfang ihres eingesetzten Instrumentariums (Flöten, Geigen, Akkordeon, Concertina, Gitarre, Bouzouki, Cello, Piano) und durch ihre sympathische und humorvolle Bühnenpräsentation zu den beliebtesten Formationen der Irisch-Traditionellen Musikszene.

Erfolgreiche Konzertreisen führte das Trio bereits durch ganz Deutschland, sowie nach Frankreich, Niederlande, Luxemburg, Italien, Österreich und die Schweiz. Das größte deutsche Fachmagazin „Folker!" kürte IONTACHs CD-Produktion „The Half Gate" (2004) mit dem Prädikat „DIE BESONDERE" und nominierte sie damit zur „Folker-CD des Jahres". Andere euphorische Pressestimmen aus den USA (Dirty Linen), England (fRoots), und Irland („Irish Music Magazine", „Irish Times", „Hot Press") folgten auf dem Fuße. Im September 2007 erschien Iontachs zweite CD – „Jiggin’ It“ - , die erneut positive Kritikerreaktionen auslöste (Hot Press/Irland, Irish Times/Irland, Le Canard/Belgien, Folker!/Deutschland, newfolksounds/Holland, etc.) und wurde gefolgt von dem erfolgreichen Weihnachtsalbum „Iontach celebreates Christmas – The Flight of the Wren“ (2008). Im Jahr 2011 nahm Iontach eine gemeinsame – und gefeierte - CD mit der deutschen Folk-Kabarett-Gruppe "Liederjan" auf, auf der irische und deutsche Folkloreeinflüsse zu einer originellen Einheit zusammenfließen. 2016 erschien ihr 4. Album "a new journey", das abermals Fans und Kritiker begeisterte.

Johnny Óg Connolly @ Clifden Arts Festival - Ireland

by Diatonic News
Johnny Óg Connolly @ Clifden Arts FestivalSaturday 16th September 2023

Johnny Óg Connolly, a renowned traditional musician and composer from the Connemara Gaeltacht, excels in accordion and melodeon. His debut solo album ‘Aisling Yoshua’ won Folk Album of the Year in 2011. Composing extensively, he draws inspiration from Irish language poetry and created two song cycles, including one with Liam Ó Maonlaí on vocals, based on Máirtín Ó Direáin’s poetry. Recently, he received a commission to write a music series based on the life of his father, the renowned
melodeon player Johnny Connolly. The series titled ‘An Cosan Draíochta’ (The Enchanted Path) concluded a successful nationwide tour in late 2022. Currently, Johnny Óg is researching Conamara’s music.

Joining him are Cliodhna Costello on banjo and mandolin, and Pádraig Ó Dubhghaill on guitar, forming a talented ensemble of traditional musicians.

“Their musicianship and their longstanding ego-free approach to their craft, both together and through their long careers as musicians of the highest caliber, is already an established pretext with anyone listening to Irish music that is paying attention. Their work both as sidemen and producers as well as band members, session musicians and individual musicians in their own right requires little if any proof from me or anyone else in order to stand firmly on the strength of the merit of their work itself. ” Seamie O’Dowd

by Diatonic News
Victor Hugo Villena et Sabrina Condello
Vendredi 1er septembre 2023 / 20h – Concert d’ouverture (Salle Edwin-Bélanger, École secondaire Louis-Jacques-Casault – 141, boulevard Taché Est) :

Né en 1979 en Argentine, Victor Villena commence l’étude du bandonéon à l’âge de 9 ans dans la banlieue de Buenos Aires. A 17 ans, il est élu « bandonéoniste révélation » par l’Académie Nationale du Tango de Buenos Aires. Il obtient le Prix du meilleur soliste au Concours national d’Argentine en 1997. En 1999, il quitte l’Argentine pour s’installer en France. Sa carrière se poursuit dans toute l’Europe. Il se produit ainsi en tant que soliste avec l’Orchestre Philarmonique de Radio France, l’orchestre symphonique des Pays de la Loire, le Moritzburg Festival Orchestre (Allemagne), le Stockholm Jazz Orchestra (Suède), le Brussels Jazz Orchestra (Belgique). Son talent lui permet de se produire sur les scènes françaises les plus renommées : Salle Pleyel, Théâtre du Châtelet, Olympia de Paris, Salle Gaveau… et du monde : Hollywood Bowl (USA), Broadway 54(USA), The London Barbican, the London Queen’s Hall (UK), Tokyo Forum (Japon)… De 2003 a 2007, il fait partie de la tournée mondiale du Gotan Project, groupe mythique de musique électronique. Depuis 2013; il est le bandonéoniste officiel de la chanteuse et actrice Ute Lemper.

Violoniste italo-française, musicienne passionnée, Sabrina Condello a un parcours couronné de succès qui lui permettra notamment de se produire en soliste avec l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo. En 2009, elle est admise à la Haute École de Musique de Genève. C’est dans cette même période, qu’elle découvre le tango. Ce sera pour elle une véritable révélation, et dès lors cette musique ne cessera de prendre de l’importance dans son développement artistique.

C’est en 2019, que débute la collaboration artistique de ces deux artistes. Les cordes du violon et lames du bandonéon vibrent en parfaite connivence, l’étendue du répertoire, la richesse des couleurs et les libertés d’interprétation, semblent ne plus avoir de limites…

Samedi 2 septembre 2023 - 13h30 (Scène extérieure au musée de l’accordéon – 301, boulevard Taché Est) :

Natif de Saint-Paul de Montminy, Alexandre Patry a appris l’accordéon aux côtés de Raynald Ouellet. Son style, vif et juste, en font un des musiciens à surveiller dans la relève en musique traditionnelle. Il enseigne depuis peu l’accordéon diatonique à l’École internationale de musique de Montmagny. Il a participé à son premier festival international en juillet 2023 : la rencontre des accordéonistes des Pyrénées d’Arseguel (Catalogne, Espagne).
