Open Air Konzerte mit Andreas Gabalier - (Österreich)/Deutschlandby Diatonic News |
Nürnberg Open Air 28.5.2014 ab 18:30h Neu-isenburg / Frankfurt am Main Open Air 29.5.2014 ab 19.30h Andreas Gabalier ist derzeit einer der erfolgreichsten Volksmusiker Europas: ER bricht in seiner Heimat Österreich und mittlerweile auch in Deutschland sämtliche musikalischen Rekorde und seine drei Alben stehen seit Monaten auf den vordersten Plätzen der Charts. Nach seiner sensationellen Arena-Solotournee im Herbst 2013 wird der sympathische Sänger im Sommer 2014 bei wenigen ausgewählten Open-Air Shows erneut das deutsche Publikum begeistern.Seine Mischung aus Volksmusik und Rock nennt er ganz einfach „VolksRock`n`Roll“. Und sobald er die Bühne betritt, steht das Publikum in der Halle Kopf; es wird gekreischt und gejohlt wie bei einem Justin Bieber-Konzert. Allein der Weg hin zur Bühne ist für den Steirer jedes Mal eine Herausforderung: „Es ist doch super, wie’s ist“, sagt er und kommt mit dem Autogrammeschreiben kaum noch nach. Andreas Gabalier genießt das Bad in der Menge und wundert sich dabei selbst immer wieder darüber, wie schnell eigentlich alles ging. Der Spiegel nennt ihn den "Elvis der Volksmusik" und die Süddeutsche Zeitung schreibt: "Gabalier lädt die Volksmusik mit Sex auf... seine Musik ist rockiger als die der Anderen". Sein Hit „I sing a Liad für di“ läuft in den Funkstationen und Diskotheken rauf und runter und wird allerorts gecovert. auf Haartolle und seinen mittlerweile legendären „Arsch-Wackler“. Andreas Gabalier ist ein Massenphänomen! So vieles ist bei ihm außerhalb der Norm und das ist gut so! Es kracht, es stampft, es rockt!Seine Kernzielgruppe hat Andreas Gabalier längst gesprengt. Bei ihm treffen Ziehharmonika und Lederhose Info: http://www.schlagerplanet.com/schlager-konzerte-tickets/andreas-gabalier-open-air-2014-in-neu-isenburg-frankfurt-am-29052014_p4125880.html |

World Accordion Day (WAD) Online - Finlandby Diatonic News |
World Accordion Day - Celebrate the Accordion! May 6th will see the celebration of World Accordion Day by many accordionists around the world. A project of the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA), coordinated by CIA Music Committee Member Grayson Masefield, ths 5th annual celebration has taken on several interesting formats during its short evolution. Beginning with coordinated celebrations from around the globe, the last two years have seen a 24 hour live streaming. While initial plans thought of a live streaming this year, the CIA has decided instead to collect footage from around the world of CIA member activities, to be made available to member associations and interested accordionists for use to publicize the accordion with media, fellow musical associations, the International Music Council as well as for other opportunities to promote the accordion in the field of music as appropriate. The CIA is blessed to be supported by more than 30 nations spanning all corners of the world, and with its competition winners alone, features some of the world's most outstanding accordionists performing a diverse array of musical styles, while representing many countries and musical cultures. Combined with World Accordion Orchestra, the composers portfolio of new works for accordion and representation at the International Music Council, the CIA is truly the epitome of 'World Accordion' and so by compiling all these exciting activities into one source, the CIA hopes to celebrate World Accordion Day itself, along with the rest of the world! We invite those celebrating World Accordion Day to submit video and pictures from their activities to the CIA, so that as we correlate the various activities we have a wonderful cross section of the many faces of accordion found around the world. During World Accordion Day, members of the CIA Executive will be in Finland at the CIA headquarters, working on plans for publicising this years events, as well as exploring possibilities for a live event next year, which will be discussed by the CIA Delegates at the upcoming General Assembly in Salzburg, Austria later in the year. To submit your information, please send your videos, pictures, or links to online performances to the CIA General Secretary Kimmo Mattila at e-mail, with World Accordion Day in the subject box: secretariat_cia@harmonikkaliitto.net |

On Saturday morning, the town of Marstal will be transformed to a multi arena where groups will be playing from every nook and every street corner. From the stages, all genres of music will sound. "Gammeldans" - the Swedish and Norwegian type of folk dancing -, where cheerful dancers will fill the dance floor. Top-of-the-pops tunes where everybody can dance and sing along. Latin rhythms. Swing. Jazz. Sweet Swedish ballads by Bellman and Taube. Not forgetting the popular 30 minutes with Marstal Småborgerlige Sangforening, the merry Marstal mariners association, who sing shanties and maritime songs on Saturday evening - not to be missed!

E’ attiva dal 1994. A testimonianza di questo fanno fede le numerose collaborazioni sia discografiche che live con Daniele Sepe, Peppe Barra, Angelo Branduardi, Franco Battiato, Eugenio Barba, Riccardo Tesi, Marc Perrone, Blue Stuff, Lino Cannavacciuolo, Vincenzo Zitello, Hector Ulises Passarella, Arnoldo Foà, Fratelli Mancuso, Alfio Antico, Mosshen Kasirossafar, i numerosi concerti in Italia (Folkest, Lithos, Roma incontra il mondo-Villa Ada, Teatro Eliseo-Roma, Liri Blues Festival, I Suoni delle Dolomiti, Auditorium S.Chiara-Trento, Teatro Palladium-Roma, Paleariza, etc.) ed all’estero (Francia, Danimarca, Germania, Polonia, Albania). IL CONCERTO Un’orchestra e una voce, un viaggio tra la tradizione mediterranea, l’etnojazz e… L’ensemble filtra, attraverso l’originale suono che da anni la identifica, tutte le idee che riceve. Allo stesso tempo, tramite il suo lavoro di ricerca, si fa protagonista di una contaminazione continua. Le armonie e le melodie polifoniche della numerosa sezione di organetti, sorretta da un inedito organetto basso (bassoon), il collante ritmico tenuto dalle batteria percussiva, insieme alla voce di Antonella Costanzo e ai fraseggi del solista Alessandro D’Alessandro, sono l’espressione di questa particolare sperimentazione. Le atmosfere sono varie, come la provenienza dei brani, con uno stile che spazia dal classico al contemporaneo, con sfumature di funky, reggae, afrobeat, etc. L’OrchestraBottoni è una formazione che cerca di coniugare tradizione ed evoluzione. Nel corso del concerto presenterà alcuni brani tratti dal disco “The Journey” (Dodicilune 2011), inciso insieme al sassofonista jazz americano Dan Moretti. Un’Intervista di Roberto G.
