Castelfidardo fine ‘800 – Grande successo per le botteghe artigiane e la gara di organettoby Diatonic News |
Arrivata alla V edizione, la Rievocazione Storica “Castelfidardo fine ‘800” organizzata dall’Associazione Tracce di ‘800 e dall’Amministrazione Comunale di Castelfidardo, tenutasi il 9 e 10 agosto scorsi, non ha smentito le attese ed ha accresciuto il successo degli scorsi anni con circa 10.000 visitatori in due giorni di manifestazione. Gli allestimenti realizzati nel centro storico di Castelfidardo dai vari volontari dei quartieri hanno creato un’atmosfera suggestiva e le tantissime iniziative proposte hanno suscitato momenti emozionanti di aggregazione e di valorizzazione delle tradizioni e dell’identità fidardense. Sempre più bella e scenografica l’ambientazione nella bottega artigiana di organetti ed “armonici” di fine ‘800, curata in ogni minimo aspetto, dove turisti curiosi e interessati hanno potuto ammirare le varie fasi di costruzione di organetti e fisarmoniche illustrate dagli artigiani stessi, che per l’occasione hanno magistralmente vestito i panni di Paolo Soprani e dei primi artigiani pionieri della fisarmonica. Le botteghe sono state inoltre arricchite e rese più realistiche dalla presenza di due strumenti storici messi gentilmente a disposizione per l’occasione dalla Famiglia Carini. Davanti alle botteghe artigiane si è svolta anche la prima “Gara di organetto amatoriale”, che ha fatto incontrare a Castelfidardo giovani partecipanti da tutte le Marche. Bravissimi ed applauditissimi tutti i musicisti che hanno proposto saltarelli differenti e brani tradizionali, creando la musica perfetta per l’occasione. Il premio, un organetto artigianale “Carletto” in serie limitata, costruito ed offerto dall'artigiano Giancarlo Francenella, è stato assegnato dalla giuria alla recanatese Francesca Guardabassi. Il gruppo artigiani della fisarmonica, coordinato da Laura Francenella, è composto da professionisti che volontariamente mettono a disposizione del progetto di Rievocazione Storica la loro esperienza e competenza: Daniela e Tonino Alessandrini, Sabrina Alba e Gianfranco Marincioni, Roberto Monaci, Rodolfo Spadari, Marinella Petromilli, Giuliana Zanirato, Giancarlo e Lucia Francenella, Paolo Caporaletti. Il prossimo appuntamento per ritornare indietro nel tempo a “Castelfidardo Fine ‘800” è fissato per agosto 2020! Vi aspettiamo!

Artistic Director: Raynald Ouellet From August 29 through September 2, the population swells to more than 50,000, most of them intent on hearing some of the finest accordionists in the world. Quote from a TripAdvisor contributor, "If you love accordion music (or even if you hate it), this place is an adventure. The Carrefour Mondial brings accordionists from all over the globe, and it seems as if every man, woman, and child in Montmagny plays some version of a squeezebox. We camped out, dined where we could (the locals provide their hearty version of baked beans), line danced, and heard the accordion stretched to its ultimate performance abilities. It was so much fun. Highly recommended.” Schedule of Performances: 2019CarrefourMondial.pdf |

National Folk Festival - USAby Diatonic News |
The National Folk Festival An exuberant traveling festival that celebrates the diverse cultural expressions of 21st-century Americans, the National Folk Festival is produced by the National Council for the Traditional Arts (NCTA) in partnership with communities around the country. In 2019, the National will celebrate its 79th year in Salisbury, Maryland. Since it was first presented in St. Louis in 1934, the National has celebrated the roots, richness, and variety of American culture. Championed in its early years by Eleanor Roosevelt, the Festival was the first event of national stature to present the arts of many nations, races, and languages on equal footing. Some of the artists presented at the first festival are now legendary and the recordings and other documentation made possible by the National are precious. “Father of the Blues” W.C. Handy’s first performance on a desegregated stage was at the 1938 National. It was also the first to present to the public musical forms such as the blues, Cajun music, polka bands, Tex-Mex conjunto, Peking Opera, and many others. The National’s three-year stay in each host city is intended to lay the groundwork for a sustainable, locally produced festival that continues after it moves on. Including Salisbury—where the Festival will be in residence from 2018 through 2020—the National Folk Festival has been presented in 29 cities. Musicians and craftspeople from every state and most U.S. territories have participated in this “moveable feast of deeply traditional folk arts.” Presented to audiences free of charge over three days, National Folk Festivals have drawn audiences of 100,000 to 175,000 annually since 1987. https://nationalfolkfestival.com/ |

Ecstasy, humour and first rate virtuosity: Accordion wizard Renato Borghetti is the superstar among the nu folk musicians from Rio Grande do Sul in Southern Brazil. The charismatic gaucho has revised, adapted and modernized many of the native sounds of his home country. His shows are unforgettable live events, offering a sparkling and elegant mix of traditional forms such as Milonga, Chacacera and Chamamé with elements of Jazz, Tango and chamber music, adapting each of those forms to his unique style of accordion playing. “Borghettinho”, as his fans like to call him, has been recording cds since the beginning of the 80ies. He has shared the stage with big names such as Dominguinhos, Sivuca, Stephane Grapelli, Ron Carter and Hermeto Pascoal and is the first Brazilian musician to achieve a golden record with purely instrumental music. His direct and playful style slightly reminds of the feeling of Zydeco and Cajun in Luisiana which combines European and African elements in a similar way. And in spite of all experiments Renato Borghetti remains 100% Gaúcho – with long hair, hat and wide riding breeches. he is touring all over Brazil and Colombia in September....for exact information view: http://www.renatoborghetti.com.br/#agenda |

John Kirkpatrick in September - UKby Diatonic News |
John Kirkpatrick was born in Chiswick, West London in 1947. A deep love of music was instilled from birth, and family gatherings always included a hearty sing-song. School choirs, the Church choir, playing recorder and piano ensues, until he joined the Hammersmith Morris Men, in their second week, in 1959. Whilst with the team he took up the melodeon, then the button accordion, then the anglo concertina, and got hooked on the traditional songs that were accompanied with a post-dancing pint. John has gone on to become one of the most prolific figures on the English folk scene, performing solo, in duos, acoustic groups and electric bands, and has established an enviable reputation as an instrumental virtuoso and session musician, as well as a leading interpreter of English folk music.

'Imaginary Soundtrack' by Paolo Russo - Italyby Diatonic News |
'Imaginary Soundtrack' is the new instrumental album from renowned Italian composer, bandoneon maestro and multi-instrumentalist, Paolo Russo. Journey with Paolo through this collection of 15 beautifully composed and carefully arranged pieces performed on vibraphone [David Hildebrandt], a family of recorders [Roberto Torto], contrabass [Thommy Andersson] and Paolo Russo on bandoneon. 'Imaginary Soundtrack' is an invitation from Paolo and friends for the listener to create their own narrative to accompany this vivid and suggestive soundtrack. Paolo's early fascination with travel, geography and maps inspired the album's pivotal track #11, 'Azimuthal Equidistant', a piece about challenging and changing perspectives. An azimuthal equidistant projection map views the world from the top of the north pole with all the land masses around the centre - it shows there are different perspectives with which to view the world and that these perspectives at time should be challenged and changed says Paolo. 'De La Meseta Al Océano' [From the Plateau to the Ocean] is about how differently we see things from up high or down low. As Paolo says in his own words, "Change is a constant in our lives as we see in nature, we are changing constantly, instead of fighting change we should embrace it. The more we are open to change, the less we suffer when changes strike, be they social, political or personal." As in life, as on 'Imaginary Soundtrack' we also encounter some 'Volapyk' [Mumbo Jumbo] and magic as we enter the 'La Foresta Dei Giganti' [The Forest of Giants]. 'Imaginary Soundtrack' is Paolo's fifteenth musical offering and releases through Odradek Records on September 20th 2019.
