Wer vielleicht nie die Möglichkeit hatte, ein Instrument zu erlernen, wer keine Notenkenntnisse mitbringt, wer Blues, Country, Rock‘n‘ Roll oder Volkslieder nicht nur von der Platte, CD oder Kassette abspielen lassen, sondern sie selbst auf der Mundharmonika interpretieren will und wer die verschiedenen Techniken erlernen möchte - der ist in diesem Kurs richtig! Das Repertoire im Kurs wird vor allem aus deutschen und amerikanischen „Volksliedern“ und Blues bestehen. Kursteilnehmende können bei Bedarf eine geeignete Mundharmonika (in C-Dur) sowie das Begleitmaterial vom Kursleiter erwerben. Information:http://www.burg-fuersteneck.de/kultur/kurs_4543.htm |

Video: Brendan Power, Harmonica Player, Surrey – UKby Harley Jones |
 Solo show demonstration video above. Harmonica player Brendan Power, UK-based but originally from New Zealand, is a complete virtuoso of the harmonica in all of its forms and genres. An All-Ireland Champion, and previously with the touring ‘Riverdance’ show, and an innovator and improviser of the first order, Brendan Power won this year’s (with melodeon player Tim Edey) BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for 'Best Duo'. If you think a bloke playing a harmonica couldn't possibly hold an audience for an evening then think again, for with the aid of a variety of gizmos, beat-boxing and live looping he creates his own Folk orchestra and backing vocals as he goes, performing soaring tunes and songs over the top. He also designs and makes harmonicas, often in tunings to allow him to play what he likes! Sting, Kate Bush, Van Morrison, James Galway, Paul Young, John Williams, Mary Black - he's played with them all and many more. Below is a list of his upcoming performances. |

Gregtime!Utopia with Greg Zlap - France/Spainby Diatonic News |
 |
| ROSES 2014 - 10th year of this event in Roses (Costa Brava) - Harmonica tuition for beginners and advanced players from Greg Zlap. Born in 1971 in Warsaw, Greg Zlap arrived in Paris in the late 80s, a little harmonica in his pocket. In search of new sounds, he perfected his art as an autodidact, and quickly became a sought after studio musician. You find Greg’s harmonica in French Chanson, in the Slam movement, or on film soundtracks. Untiring ambassador of his instrument, Greg Zlap created in 1998 a harmonica school in Paris. Then, convinced that music can do much more than nourish the soul, he launched harmonica workshops for asthmatic children in hospitals. Greg has a parallel solo career; he writes, composes and performs the music that inspires him, taking roots in the blues, never forgetting his Slavic soul. He has formed his group as a leader and already produced 5 albums under his name. Singer with a captivating clear tone, Greg Zlap surprises, seduces and conquers audiences wherever he goes! In 2009, French mega-star Johnny Hallyday chose Greg to accompany him on “Tour 66”. He will be: 01/07 Gregtime! - Utopia 79 rue de l'ouest 75014 Paris 27.28.29.30/07 with Joan Pau Cumellas, Stage Harmonica Roses - Roses, Spain His website: http://www.gregzlap.com |

De atmósfera intimista, cargado de esa nostalgia tanguera que imponen los inmensos poetas de esta música tan nuestra que amamos y tratamos de pasear con todo nuestro amor y respeto por el mundo, siendo sinceros y evitando todo tipo de clichés y repertorios de espectáculos "for export" Una Producción de Litto Nebbia para Discos Melopea MARIEL MARTÍNEZ lanzando en 2013 su cuarto disco "Esos otros Tangos" y acompañada por “La Porteña Tango Trío”, con su voz profunda y su gran capacidad interpretativa entra en comunión con la exclusiva guitarra de Alejandro Picciano, compañero habitual en su carrera discográfica y director del sólido grupo que la secunda junto a Matías Picciano en bandoneón y Federico Peuvrel en piano. Juntos nos proponen con mucha elegancia y un toque de picardía una sonoridad como la de los viejos conjuntos típicos de antaño de garra bien criolla y sentimental. "Perfume de Tango" sin caer en clichés ni repeticiones, nos invita a un recorrido por las diferentes épocas y estilos del tango como un viaje en el tiempo, desde el tango más arrabalero al del último genio que conoció el género, Astor Piazzolla y los nuevos compositores.

CD Le Manège/1er Album - Franceby Diatonic News |
 |
 Le Manège, s’inscrit dans la mouvance néo-traditionnelle française. C’est avant tout de la musique qui se danse. Scottish, mazurka, bourrée, polska, cercle…Des mélodies qui dialoguent goulûment. Un chant généreux en wolof. Un mélange surprenant de timbres acoustiques (accordéons, violon, clarinette) et électriques (télécaster, effets, sampling). Le Manège, c’est aussi une musique qui s’écoute, un carnet de voyages imaginaires. Une musique qui raconte un lieu fantasmé, foisonnant, en perpétuel mouvement et sans frontières. Les membres du groupe sont des habitués de la scène folk européenne, complètement addicts aux musiques populaires et aux vibrations des parquets :-) Amélie Denarié (aussi membre des Zéoles) è sur l’Accordéon diatonique Le lançent un appel à souscription via Ulule, plateforme de financement participatif. Pour participez à sa naissance, vous en aurez ainsi l'exclusivité! Pour savoir comment faire – voilà: http://fr.ulule.com/le-manege/ |
