Accordion museum at Karlssons Musik - Swedenby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |

| The accordion museum at Karlssons Musik is quite unique. It contains over 200 different historic accordions of different types from many different countries. Most of them are from Sweden, Germany, Italy and USA. Many of the old ones are also diatonic instruments. This unique collection belongs to Ingvar Karlsson, the founder of Karlssons Musik (est 1970). The museum also contains accordions from famous artists, old pictures of accordion stars, old posters, old records and other "accordion memorabilia". Every year a lot of people visit the museum attached to Karlssons Musik shop which is probably the biggest in Sweden being some 350 m2 of accordions and accordion products. In May 2011, a new part of the accordion museum was opened and at the opening ceremony there were many visitors and also had some well known accordionists performing: Jörgen Sundeqvist, Pierre Eriksson, Alf Hågedal and Kallis Bengtsson. Visit the museum free of charge. Ordinary visitors are welcome at any time during shop opening hours and larger groups are asked to please schedule a time so they can receive assistance.

Famous musicians such as Zé Calixto, the biggest name in the diatonic accordion in Brazil, and Luizinho Calixto, Renato Borghetti, Oswaldinho do Acordeom, Arlindo dos 8 Baixos and Heleno dos 8 Baixos attended the event, promoting a rich exchange of experience and two Master Classes dividing a lively stage show, open to the public. CONTINUOUS LEARNING "Another important aspect of the event was to allow students the only School of Accordion 8 Low in Brazil, also based in Caruaru, contact with renowned artists, increasing the stimulus and inspiration to continue his learning the instrument," says João Bento, founder school and one of the supporters of the event. Ivison Santos, one of the revelations of the school, which already have on your resume performances in Brazil and Germany, came on stage and performed alongside the great masters. "The event received wide media attention and specialized regional and vehicles brought results far above expectations in terms of disclosure. Moreover, consistently contributed to the movement we're building for that talent and knowledge of great musicians are transmitted to new generations, "adds João Bento. The Festival of this system was carried out by ACÁCIA - Advertising and Marketing, ACESSO - Promotions and Events, was supported by the Foundation of Culture and Tourism of Caruaru and was sponsored by Pepsi, AmBev, and the Ministry of Culture of Brazil.

Lepistö & Lehti release Radio Moskova - Finlandby Merja Hottinen / Fimic |
 |
| The duo of accordionist Markku Lepistö and bassist Pekka Lehti will release their second album Radio Moskova (Aito Records) in September. Since Lepistö & Lehti's previous, awarded and praised album Helsinki, the duo have renewed their sound palette. Nevertheless, they have not forgotten the atmospheric harmonies and beautiful melodies that have captivated audiences around the world. The title track of the album is a reminiscence of the radio shows from the 1970's that Pekka Lehti used to listen with his old tube radio. The foreign radio shows - from the former Soviet Union, among others - made an impact on the young musician, who later busted the same radio by using it as an amplifier for his punk rock bass guitar. The new album's release date in Finland is 8 September, with a record release concert on 15 September. More information: http://www.fimic.fi/fimic or e-mail: merja.hottinen@fimic.fi |
