Aperte le iscrizioni al Premio Alberto Cesa 2022 - Italia

by Diatonic News
Premio Alberto Cesa 2022
Il Premio giunto ormai alla sua diciasettesima edizione, è pensato per valorizzare tutta quella musica che, al di là dall’essere classificata come folk, folk-rock, etnico, etno-jazz, world, new acoustic, minimalista, chitarristico, canzone d’autore, cantastorie, artista di strada (con prevalente attività musicale), sappia dare voce a una o più radici culturali di qualsiasi parte del mondo.

La manifestazione è nata per omaggiare un grande artista come Alberto Cesa, voce e ghironda del Cantovivo, piemontese e grande amico di Folkest, uno dei gruppi pionieri del folk italiano che oltre quarant’anni fa ha fatto capire che cantare in una lingua minore o dialetto non è stare ai margini, ma aumentare le potenzialità espressive.

Il Premio 2022
L’organizzazione del Premio è curata, sotto la supervisione della direzione del festival Folkest, dalla redazione di www.folkbulletin.com e dall’Associazione Culturale Folkgiornale; vi collaborano una ventina di associazioni e istituzioni di varie parti d’Italia, dove di anno in anno si svolgono le selezioni dal vivo degli artisti partecipanti.

L’iscrizione al concorso è gratuita.

Le domande di iscrizione dovranno essere inviate entro e non oltre il 31 ottobre 2021, tramite il modulo presente sul nostro sito.

Musi auf See Kreuzfahrten. 2021 wird auf vielfachen Wunsch wieder mal nach Griechenland gekreuzt.
Mit der MSCOrchestra**** einem Schiff der 4 Sterne Kategorie werden wundervolle geschichtsträchtige Land bereist.

2021 Big Squeeze Champions
Texas Folklife Announces Champions of 15th Annual Big Squeeze Youth Accordion Contest

AUSTIN — All hail the champions of Texas Folklife’s 2021 Big Squeeze accordion contest! Five youths from Texas and Louisiana have been crowned champs in Polka, Cajun, Zydeco, and Conjunto music. The winners were announced May 8 at the conclusion of Texas Folklife’s Big Squeeze Finals from Home broadcast on Facebook live. They are:
Polka: Alexander French, 14 (The Colony, TX)
Zydeco: Kaleb Leday, 21 (Lake Charles, LA)
Cajun: Cameron Dupuy, 23 (New Orleans, LA)
Conjunto, 16 and Under: Ashly Nicole Molina, 16 (Roma, TX)
Conjunto, 17-21 Anthony Ortiz, Jr. Grand Prize: Johnny Joe Gutierrez, 17 (Mission, TX)

Each of the champions received a prize package including a new accordion from Hohner Accordions, cash prize, future performance opportunities with Texas Folklife, publicity, professional development, and other professional opportunities.

“Congratulations to all of this year’s champions and participants in the Big Squeeze program,” said Texas Folklife Executive Director Charlie Lockwood. “We are truly inspired by the talented young musicians, teachers, educators, parents, and communities we have had the privilege of working with over the past 15 years. Thank you to the 2021 participants for sharing your passion for accordion music with us.”

The Big Squeeze is presented by Texas Folklife as part of its mission to preserve and present Texas’ diverse cultural heritage. Since 2007, hundreds of talented young players from dozens of communities have participated in the program, which supports vital, community-based accordion music traditions.

This year’s Big Squeeze was entirely virtual due to the COVID pandemic. Contestants across all categories submitted videos to Texas Folklife that were judged in successive rounds by three panels of judges.
“There were a lot of contestants and they are all extremely talented, and our judges have a very hard time narrowing it down,” said Sarah Rucker, Program Director for the Big Squeeze. “These young players were scored on their song interpretation, originality, and stage presence.

Musicians’ Workshop Weekend (Jo Freya, Andy Cutting) - UK

by Diatonic News
Jo Freya, Andy Cutting
Friday 11 Jun 4pm — Sunday 13 Jun 4pm, 2021

“How the two halves meet” is the theme for this immersive weekend for musicians of an Intermediate level and above. Jo & Andy will draw on their considerable experience to demonstrate and explore with you how tune and accompaniment combine into exciting musical arrangements, using their own new compositions as source material for the weekend, in addition to some old favourites.

With players of all instruments welcome, we’ll be looking at the different roles that musicians can play within a band, and how these communicate, crossover and separate. We’ll work on tunes together to see how they might develop, tapping into your creativity and lateral thinking.

It’ll be fun and challenging in a joyful way.

Who’s it For?
Sorry, but this course isn’t suitable for beginners. You’ll need to be of an intermediate level or above in order to keep up and get involved. All instruments are welcome; tune, rhythm, countermelodies and riffs all have a role to play! The course will be taught predominantly by ear, so you’ll need the confidence and ability to pick up tunes at a fair pace. Scores will be available afterwards.

Andy Cutting is a rarity. A musician’s musician: a soulful and technically outstanding melodeon practitioner with an ear for a fine tune. Many of his tunes have been purloined along the way: some considered contemporary classics on the folk scene. But then, Andy is also a warm and emotive performer, modestly engaging his audiences with his self-deprecating wit and then flooring them with downright staggering musicianship. There are few melodeon players who put so much feeling into their playing, whether it be a set of dance tunes, or accompaniment to a slow English ballad.

A Virtual Tribute to Zydeco on June 17 - USA

by Rita Davidson Barnea
Step Rideau
Video: Step Rideau and the Zydeco Outlaws New Years 2017

The Brazoria County Historical Museum hosts and pays tribute to the musical genre that has roots in both Louisiana and Texas. Enjoy the sounds of this grassroots music and learn its history at the Brazoria County Historical Museum’s live virtual event on June 17, 2021 at 6:30 PM Central Daylight Time Award-winning Zydeco group Step and the Zydeco Outlaws entertain while author and music historian Roger Woods answers questions about the music’s history. Pre-registration is free at www.bchm.org.

With 8 CD's to his credit, international zydeco sensation Step Rideau has been a cornerstone of the zydeco scene for almost 20 years. Step and the Zydeco Outlaws offer traditional sounds from his native Louisiana fused with the urban vibe of Houston. Excerpts from his website: Stephen Joseph Rideau “Step” was born in 1966 in the St. Landry Parish town of LeBeau , Louisiana. Surrounded by Creole culture and zydeco music from infancy, it wasn’t until relocating to Houston in the mid-1980’s that he began to play the accordion and eventually formed his own band.

Today, Step Rideau is widely acknowledged worldwide as one of the living masters of the instrument. He’s also established himself over the the past two decades, through the course of multiple recordings and festival appearances nationwide, as a prolific and passionate zydeco recording artist, songwriter, and live performer.

Part of Rideau’s appeal is that he brings a true singer’s sensibility to zydeco, not just shouting out the lyrics but soulfully engaging with them to articulate the song, both in English and in Creole French. In that respect, he’s served well by his band of Outlaws, who provide not only fine instrumental accompaniment but also unusually rich and melodious backing vocal harmonies, especially in the case of long-time drummer, Jean-Paul Jolivette. Collectively, these players make music that respects the art of the human voice in as much as it respects the driving rhythms, funky beats, and accordion riffs that make zydeco perhaps the ultimate dance soundtrack for people everywhere.

Nuovo CD di CLAUDIO PRIMA E SEME - Italia

by Harley Jones
CD "Enjoy", disco d'esordio per il progetto Claudio Prima & Seme - Italia
La musica tradizionale è in continuo movimento: venerdì 25 giugno esce Enjoy, disco d’esordio del progetto Claudio Prima & Seme prodotto da Domenico Coduto per Ipe Ipe Music nella programmazione “Puglia Sounds Record 2020/2021”, distribuito nei negozi da Goodfellas e negli store digitali da Artist First.

Il disco - che propone dieci composizioni originali di Claudio Prima e una rilettura del brano tradizionale dell’isola di Cipro “To Ghiasemi” - sarà lanciato con il videoclip del primo singolo “Domenica” che racconta una storia semplice, al limite fra quotidianità e sogno. Sullo sfondo della band e del protagonista, le campagne di Otranto e la Torre di Sant'Emiliano, uno dei luoghi più suggestivi del Salento, terra d'origine di Claudio Prima, che firma le musiche e la regia di questo videoclip, impreziosito dalla fotografia di Stefano Tramacere.

Il disco sarà presentato ufficialmente sabato 26 giugno (ore 21 - ingresso 5 euro - info e prenotazioni 0573774500) nel parco della Villa Medicea La Magia a Quarrata per la sesta edizione del Quarrata Folk Festival, e lunedì 28 giugno (ore 19:30 - ingresso libero - info e prenotazioni 3516480009) al Museo Castromediano di Lecce per la serata finale di Pratiche corporee a cura de La fabbrica dei gesti. Il tour proseguirà al Philia Festival di Squinzano, in provincia di Lecce (17 luglio - ore 20:30) e a Suoni della Murgia di Altamura, in provincia di Bari (30 luglio - ore 20:30).

L’album è realizzato nella “Programmazione Puglia Sounds Record 2020/2021”

Neue Singles "Ich bin immer für dich da" und "Gib mir Sommer"
Platz 1 in den iTunes Charts

Im Leben gibt es immer wieder Schlüsselmomente! Plötzlich weiß man, dass sich all die Mühe und das jahrelange Festhalten an Träumen gelohnt haben. Mit dem Titel "Brave Buam wolln freche Madln" hat Marco Wahrstaetter viele Menschen im deutschsprachigen Raum begeistert. Er war in der bekannten ARD TV Show "Immer wieder Sonntags" dabei und ihm gelang etwas Historisches: Als erster österreichischer Künstler gewann er 6-mal in Folge, in einer TV Show mit Einschaltquoten um die 3 Millionen Zuseher. Gleich danach wurde das erste Album "Brave Buam" veröffentlicht, welches 2 Jahre später IFPI Goldstatus in Österreich erlangte.
