Later News: Peter Anzaldua Wins 2012 Texas Folklife Festival Accordion Competition - USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 |
 Peter Anzaldua, of Brownsville, is the 2012 Texas Folklife Festival Big Squeeze champion. Anzaldua, 15, won the recent 29th annual Accordion Kings & Queens contest in Houston for the best young accordion players from across Texas.In addition to taking home the top prize of $1,000 and a Hohner Classic II accordion, after winning the contest Anzaldua got to play a set on the Miller Outdoor Auditorium stage with headliners Flaco Jimenez, Mingo Saldivar and the Texmaniacs. “That was amazing,” his mother Christi Anzaldua said of seeing her son perform with the Texmaniacs, one of the top Tex-Mex conjunto groups in the country. Anzaldua, who attends Veterans Memorial High School, said the fact that people were dancing during the contest made it easier to perform well. He beat out three other finalists, Luis Gonzalez of Grand Prairie, Michael Salinas of Dallas and Omar Garza of Mission. “I was excited,” he said. “It’s better when there’s dancing. People get into the music and it just comes together more”. As the Big Squeeze champion, Anzaldua will perform at Texas Folklife Festival events throughout the coming year. He said he expects to perform soon in the Rio Grande Valley, but as of Sunday afternoon wasn’t sure exactly where. In the Big Squeeze he performed the polka ‘Viva Seguin’ as one number and a medley of songs including the ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ as the other. The contest was for accordion players of any genre. The other three finalists played Norteño selections. Between 6,000 and 8,000 people attended the Accordion Kings & Queens contest, which like all Miller Outdoor Auditorium events was free to the public but required advance tickets for covered seating and access to the dance floor. |

This factory started well back in time and was handed over to his son Marco, who had been learning the skills from his youth in the family business at the peak of accordion production. Son Marco has since continued the with the FAS di Gioacchini Emilio & s.n.c. factory with the same passion as his father Emilio, serving the accordion community in Castelfidardo and other places of the world.

‘Tag der Harmonika’, Perg – Austriaby Werner Weibert |
 |
 Pictures above: Werner Weibert (HVÖ president) with his vice presidents Dr. Leopold Dercsaly (left) and Dr. Herbert Scheibenreif (right), picture below is Benno Mitterlehner (organizer), Marlies Fürst (winner of the junior classic), Michael Rettig (classic and ntertainment).This year’s ‘Tag der Harmonika’ was held from May 4th to 6th in Perg, which is located in the lovely region of Upper Austria. The competition attracted more than 300 participants and included categories for accordion soloists, duos, ensembles and orchestras, for harmonica and the ‘Steirische Harmonika’ (Styrian Harmonica, a type of diatonic accordion), which has become very popular recently. Compared to previous competitions it can be said that the interest in the instrument and also the level of performance are constantly growing. The possibility to study the accordion at all major conservatories and universities of music as well as the work of the executive committee of Austrian Confederation of Accordionists HVÖ is showing very positive results. Most impressive performances came from Michael Rettig, who won both the Classic and the Entertainment categories, the ‘Duo akk:zent’ (Paul Schuberth, picture middle right, and Johannes Münzner, picture lower right), and the accordion orchestra ‘Vielharmonie’, from Salzburg. Alexander Pamer (picture top right) obtained first place in the highest category of the Diatonic competition, but there were also excellent performances by diatonic duets and folk music ensembles. Surely they will be going to represent their country at international competitions such as the Coupe Mondiale or the World Diatonic Competition in oncoming years. The next International Diatonic Competition will be hold in Mayrhofen/Tyrol (Austria) from May 30th to June 2nd. Gottfried Hubmann, Hermann Schlacher and Christian Höller were awarded the ‘Silver needle’, one of the highest distinctions of the Austrian Confederation. It was a lucky coincidence that the Austrian Day of the Harmonica was organized exactly 183 years after the patent of the accordion was granted to Cyrill Demien in Vienna in 1829. This aspect was also mentioned in the interview with Dr. Herbert Scheibenreif during the 24 hours livestream for World Accordion Day. Online translation ! |

Bereits seit vielen Jahren findet in der Steiermark der Steirische Harmonikawettbewerb statt, der vom ORF Steiermark durchgeführt und österreichweit im Fernsehen übertragen wird. Das Ziel dieses Wettbewerbes ist die Förderung der Volksmusik, insbesondere soll aber auch das reiche Schaffen und die Melodievielfalt unserer Volkskultur durch die jungen Harmonikaspieler noch mehr belebt werden. Die jungen Mädchen und Burschen haben dabei die Möglichkeit, sich einem großem Publikum zu präsentieren und sich natürlich im Rahmen dieses Wettbewerbes zu messen. Sehr gut abgeschnitten haben auch drei Harmonikaschüler aus der Mauterner Musikschule und Harmonikaklasse Gottfried Hubmann. Katja Koller aus Leoben, Meinrad Mikusch aus Mautern und David Schneeberger aus Wald am Schoberpass. Die weiteren Teilnehmer aus der Steiermark sind: Markus Schäffer, Martin Spitzer, Christian Rubrechter, Daniel Stefan Müllner, Harald Spitzer, Daniel Fuchs, Mario Strasser, Katja Wiesenhofer, David Stangl, Philipp Hafner, Lukas Ganster und Michael Mandl. Teilnehmer aus der ganzen Steiermark stellten sich einer fachkundigen ORF Jury die insgesamt die besten 15 der Steiermark ermittelte und diese spielen im Rahmen der „Reihe Steirische Sänger- und Musikantentreffen“ bei öffentlichen Volksmusikabenden, welche vom ORF Radio Steiermark aufgezeichnet werden. Hier können und müssen die Kandidaten bereits live vor Publikum spielen und so Bühnenerfahrung sammeln und haben auch die Gelegenheit im Radio zu spielen. Im Juni wird dann um den Einzug ins große TV-Finale gespielt. Der Sieger wird dann aus fünf Finalisten von der Jury, Karl Lenz (ORF Steiermark), Caroline Koller (ORF Salzburg) Franz Posch (ORF Tirol) und Sepp Strunz ermittelt. Das TV-Finale findet am 20. Oktober 2012 in der Steinhalle Lannach statt. Gottfried Hubmann Online translation ! |

New Book "Squeeze This" by Marion Jacobson - USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 |
 Marion Jacobson brings attention to the accordion with her new book, "Squeeze This, A Cultural History of the Accordion in America". The University of Illinois Press calls it: "Everything you wanted to know about piano accordions in America--but were afraid to ask.No other instrument has witnessed such a dramatic rise to popularity--and precipitous decline--as the accordion in the 1950's. "Squeeze This!" is the first history of the piano accordion and the first book-length study of the accordion as a uniquely American musical and cultural phenomenon. Ethnomusicologist and accordion enthusiast Marion Jacobson traces the changing idea of the accordion in the United States and its cultural significance over the course of the twentieth century. From the introduction of elaborately decorated European models imported onto the American vaudeville stage and the instrument's celebration by ethnic musical communities and mainstream audiences alike, to the accordion-infused pop parodies by "Weird Al" Yankovic, Jacobson considers the accordion's contradictory status as both an "outsider" instrument and as a major force in popular music in the twentieth century." Here's what critics say about Squeeze This! “A fascinating cultural history of the most underestimated of instruments."--Booklist "Wunnerful, wunnerful. . . . A delightful and illuminating surprise."--The Wall Street Journal Marion Jacobson has sparked great interest in and brought much attention to the accordion with her new book. Whether you agree or disagree with her thoughts or are reading it to learn about the accordion, it makes us all think about the accordion, how it has influenced our culture, our lives, and how it is part of a new generation of musicians who realize and greatly appreciate its value in the world of music. The book presents fascinating information and triggers even more questions, commentary, and curiosity in the accordion. I recommend that you read this book, listen to all types of accordion music, and develop a desire to learn more about the accordion. And….. how about learning to play the accordion! You may purchase at the book launch or other promotions or Amazon. For further information about Marion Jacobson and her new book: msjacobson@verizon.net Online translation ! |
Concertina “Wayne Collection”/Horniman Museum – London/UKby Diatonic News |
 |
 The Wayne Collection represents an overview of concertina making in Britain, from the 1830s through to the instrument’s late 20th century revival.The Horniman Museum purchased the collection in 1996, with the assistance of a generous grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. It consists of more than six hundred concertinas and related free reed instruments. It has a substantial archive, including the surviving 19th century ledgers of the Wheatstone concertina factory. The focus of the collection is on the work of the physicist Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875), who patented what became known as the English concertina in 1844. The collection includes a number of his prototypes and experimental models. There are also a wide range of concertinas and aeolas produced by the family firm, C. Wheatstone & Co., among them duet models and instruments made for concertina bands that were regularly played in competitions from the 1860s until the Second World War. In the 1850s, the English concertina became a fashionable instrument, reaching the peak of production. Many of the Wheatstones’ employees established their own businesses, among them Louis Lachenal, Joseph Scates and George Jones. The Wayne Collection represents their work - and that of many other makers based in Britain and Ireland. The collection also includes French, Italian, German and Dutch accordions. The ledgers of the Wheatstone factory chronicle the fortunes of the firm from May 1834 to December 1891. They provide a wealth of information about the concertinas sold by the firm, including serial numbers, dates of sale, and often the names of their purchasers. They also list some of the specific tasks of the workers. Opening hours - 10.30am -5.30 pm (17.30h) Online translation ! http://www.horniman.ac.uk/collections/the-wayne-collection |

Stage Fabrizio de André per organetto - Roma/Italiaby Diatonic News |
 |
| Roma 23 giugno 2012 with Docente Gianni Ventola Danese La musica e le canzoni di Fabrizio de André riflettono sovente gli stilemi e le strutture della musica popolare: le mazurche, i valzer, le tarantelle. Non solo. L’influenza della musica francese e della canzone d’autore transalpina è un altro importante aspetto dell’estetica musicale di De André. Questo ne fa uno degli autori più adatti a un lavoro di trascrizione per organetto, uno strumento la cui sonorità sposa perfettamente le melodie del poeta genovese. Lo stage permetterà di percorrere un viaggio nel repertorio di Faber scoprendo quanto il suo repertorio possa prestarsi a un’interpretazione all’organetto dagli effetti poetici e musicali sorprendenti. Destinatari Lo stage si rivolge a coloro che suonano l’organetto a 8, 12 o 18 bassi, e che desiderano ampliare il repertorio e migliorare il loro stile esecutivo. Allo stage possono partecipare anche coloro che non leggono la musica. Ulteriori informazioni http://www.organetto.info/stage_anno.htm#giu Online translation ! |

23rd Annual Accordion Kings & Queens Festival on June 2nd - USAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 The 23rd Annual Accordion Kings and Queens Festival will be held on Saturday, June 2nd, at Houston's Miller Outdoor Theatre. It will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Grammy-winners and accordion legends Flaco Jiménez and Mingo Saldivar perform with Grammy Award-winning Los Texmaniacs under the starry sky at the Miller Outdoor Theatre in Houston’s Hermann Park. The night promises to be spectacular—not only with this historic performance—but also with performances by Dora and the Zydeco Entourage, the Ennis Czech Boys, and last year’s Big Squeeze Champion Ignacio “Nachito” Morales.The star-studded affair will take place on Saturday, June 2, beginning at 6:00 PM. The festival is free and open to the music-loving public. Festival goers wanting seats in the pavilion area can pick up their free tickets the day of the festival at the Miller Box Office or become members of Texas Folklife and receive up to four reserved tickets. The night will begin with The 2012 Big Squeeze Accordion Contest Playoffs. The finalists were selected at the Semifinals Concert and Playoffs at the Bob Bullock Texas History Museum in Austin in April. This year’s finalists are: Peter Anzaldua, 15, of Brownsville; Omar Garza, 17, of Mission; Luis Gonzales, 16, of Grand Prairie; and Michael Ramos, 16, of Dallas. Texas Folklife’s Big Squeeze accordion contest 2012 finalists will compete for a grand prize package valued at $4500, including a $1000 cash prize, a brand new Hohner accordion and recording time at the historic Hacienda Records in Corpus Christi, as well as promotional support from SugarHill Recording Studios, Hohner, Inc., Hacienda Records and Texas Folklife, and other professional opportunities. The young accordionists will perform, and by the end of the night, the new Grand-Prize-Winner will be selected by a panel of esteemed judges and the festival crowd. After the crowd has been primed by the young squeezeboxers, the accordion legends and stars will take over the stage. Flaco Jiménez and Mingo Saldivar are Texas music royalty and national treasures. Jiménez has received five Grammy awards over his sixty-year career—two of which were with the supergroups the Texas Tornadoes (Jiménez, Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, and Augie Meyers) and Los Super Seven. His father was Santiago Jiménez, Sr., one of the pioneers of conjunto music. Jiménez has appeared in the film Picking up the Pieces with Woody Allen and Sharon Stone. He also appears on the soundtrack to that movie, and in many others, such as Y Tu Mamá También, The Border, and Tin Cup. The Hohner company collaborated with Jiménez to create the Flaco Jiménez Signature Series of accordions. Mingo Saldivar’s career spans four decades. He is a two-time Grammy nominee, as well as a recipient of the prestigious National Heritage Award from the National Endowment for the Arts. Dubbed the “dancing cowboy” by fans, Saldivar is a conjunto music legend. Los Texmaniacs won the 2010 Grammy award for Best Tejano Album, Borders y Bailes, on the Smithsonian Folkways label. Their sound has been called “hip music everybody can relate to” and is comprised of conjunto, rock, and rhythm and blues. Putting the Queen in Accordion Kings & Queens, Houston’s own Dora and the Zydeco Entourage will also be performing on this accordion-loving night. This year’s festival all-star lineup includes the newly formed Ennis Czech Boys who will undoubtedly keep the crowd on its feet. Rounding out the night and proving why he is the reigning Big Squeeze Champ will be Ignacio “Nachito” Morales. The Accordion Kings & Queens Festival and The Big Squeeze are funded in part by the Board of Texas Folklife, the City of Houston through the Miller Theatre Advisory Board, Houston Endowment, Hohner Inc., The Raven Grill, and FBA Design. Additional support for the contest is provided by the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs, Hacienda Records, South Central Music Source, Cactus Music & Record Ranch, SugarHill Recording Studios, La Michoacana Stores, Embassy Suites Hotel Downtown Austin, the Still Water Foundation and the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division and by a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts and an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.

Pine Leaf Boys on tour - USA/ASIAby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 |
| The Pine Leaf Boys is a Cajun and Creole band from South Louisiana. Members include: Wilson Savoy, Cajun accordion and vocals; Courtney Granger, fiddle and vocals; Jon Bertrand, guitars; Drew Simon, drums and vocals; Thomas David, bass.The band is known for playing traditional Cajun and Creole music from Southwest Louisiana, inspired by bands dating from the 1920s such as Amédé Ardoin to modern bands such as the Mamou Playboys, Jason Frey, Paul Daigle and Cajun Gold all the way up to Wayne Toups. The Pine Leaf Boys are an "international Cajun band," performing many shows each year in Europe. Four-time Grammy-Nominated, world-renown Pine Leaf Boys have made a name for presenting their own inimitable brand of Cajun music with youthful exuberance. Hailing from the southwest Louisiana, the Pine Leaf Boys, known for their wild shows and thoughtful arrangements, have breathed new life into Cajun music, reviving ancient songs and bringing them to the bandstand. Being described in the New York Times as, "... the link that connects the young and the old generations," and, "the best new, energetic, and fun Cajun band in a very long time," the Pine Leaf Boys play the old fashion dance hall standards while making a priority to bring many of the more obscure songs of past masters into their repertoire and play them with gusto. The Pine Leaf Boys have been invited on two occasions by the U.S. State Department to tour the world and present true music to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Jerusalem in 2009 and again to Latvia, Denmark, and Slovenia is 2010. The variety and energy they release evolves through their shows, bringing multi-faceted angles to Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco. Their mission is to present the beautiful, powerful music of their ancestors and present the real Cajun music to the world and prove that it is still thriving and full of life. The Pine Leaf Boys have preserved the traditional Cajun sound, while allowing it to breathe and stretch with those who play it. The accordionist in the group is Wilson Savoy who plays Cajun accordion and vocals. He was born and raised near Eunice, Louisiana in 1982. Wilson began playing boogie-woogie piano at ten years old after becoming becoming completely enthused about the wild-piano-playing Louisiana-native, Jerry Lee Lewis. While in his early teens, Wilson's father, Marc, gave him a homemade accordion built from the wood of a Sassafras tree that his grandfather planted. Wilson intensely studied the styles of his musicial heroes Amede Ardoin and Iry Lejeune, as well as his father (known well for being one of the masters of the Cajun accordion) and soon developed a style of his own, full of punch, syncopation, and energy. When not on the bandstand, Wilson is a frequent visitor at jam sessions at his father’s music store or the Blue Moon Saloon, or he is teaching at music camps all over the world including Fiddle Tunes, Augusta, and Tikendalch in France. Wilson has played in many groups over the years like the White Mule Boys, the Red Stick Ramblers, the Savoy-Family Band, the Church Point Aces avec Paul Daigle and Mitch Reed, and his heart has always been with Cajun music. In 2006, Wilson debuted in the film “All the King’s Men” as a piano player alongside actor Sean Penn. In 2010, Wilson had a speaking role in the HBO Series "Tremé" playing himself. Their schedule includes: June 1: Blue Moon Saloon, Lafayette, LA June 2: La Poussiere, Breaux Bridge, LA June 7-8: Strawberry Park, Preston CT June 9: Stone Mountain Arts Center, Brownfield Maine June 13: US State Department Tour of Central Asia Kyrghistan June 14-18: US State Department Tour of Central Asia Kyrghistan June 19-25: US State Department Tour of Central Asia Uzbekistan June 26-July 1st: US State Department Tour of Central Asia Tajikistan Online translation !

Book: Absolute Beginners' Concertina - Irlandby Diatonic News |
 Following on from the success of his first tutor – The Irish Concertina - and after repeated requests from novices of the instrument at workshops and festivals, Mick Bramich explores the mine field which awaits the prospective Anglo player and, by using the same format tablature as in his previous book, opens up the little box of tricks to the willing learner.A range of easy to follow diagrams, tips on maintenance and buying concertinas plus a potted history of the makers all add up to a well designed and planned tutor with a set of exercises which both challenge and give instant results to the beginner. The method has been road tested on new students of the instrument and they attest to the value of the teaching system. Online translation ! Information: http://mickbramich.co.uk/beginners.html |
