Ciò che rende diverso e unico nel centro sud il festival Zingarìa (estate) o Capodanze (inverno), rispetto agli altri, sono 300 - 400 stagisti residenziali (uno o più moduli di 5 giorni) provenienti per il 70% dal centro nord e dall'estero. Infatti oltre al pubblico serale che ascolta concerti o guarda un'esibizione folkloristica, come negli altri festivals, a Zingarìa e Capodanze partecipa anche un folto numero di appassionati del settore per una full immersion che comincia con gli affollatissimi stages della mattina e del pomeriggio e prosegue con concerti a ballo e jam session improvvisate della sera/notte, spesso sino all'alba, e così per 5 o 10 o 15 giorni consecutivi, secondo il numero di moduli organizzati Gli artisti: Il magico sud...

Gloucester Cajun & Zydeco Festival - UKby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
 This internationally known festival returns for it 17th year on the 22nd - 24th January 2010 in Gloucester Guildhall, 23 Eastgate Street, Gloucester, GL1 1NS.Gloucester Guildhall will be putting on some of the best Cajun and Zydeco bands as the Cajun Festival brings the sound and atmosphere of Louisiana to the Guildhall. There will also be workshops, films and a selection of mouthwatering authentic cajun food on offer. Here some of the participants: Friday 22nd: The Whiskey River Zydeco Twisters..... ...are back again after three years in the GCZF wilderness, and happy to be there. Stand by for some suitably TWISTED ZYDECO with the W.R. Zydeco Twisters!Aidan, Martin, Andy, Pedro, Dennis and Ted will have the joint jumping! http://whiskeyriver.co.uk/ Saturday 23rd: Sarah Savoy and the Francadians..... .... are a group of dedicated musicians based in Paris, France, led by Louisiana-born and raised Sarah Savoy. Brought up by two of the most influential names in Cajun music (Ann and Marc Savoy), Sarah fronts this band of French musicians David Rolland (Stompin’ Crawfish, Daisy Belle, Villaine Maniere), Vincent Blin, and Manolo Gonzales as if it were any group of similarly young musicians playing in the Cajun heartland of Lafayette, Louisiana, where Sarah got her start. With the Francadians, Sarah performs traditional Cajun and Zydeco music, reaching back as far as the earliest roots of Louisiana music with covers of Amedee Ardoin, Joe and Cleoma Falcon, and Iry LeJeune, among others The Boat Band After playing for many years, trawling the venues of Britain and beyond, THE BOAT BAND have picked up a huge and varied catch of tunes: Creole, Caribbean, gospel, Cajun, Irish, zydeco and blues-not much slips through the net.If it can be played on accordion and fiddle (or trombone, washboard, trumpet, banjo etc), if it touches the heart and moves the feet, it`s in the repertoire. Their latest venture takes the band away from the cajun twosteps of South Louisiana to the dance music of northwest England, drawing on the rich tradition of some thousands of tunes collected by and from the musicians of Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria. The favourite current source of good tunes is the Langdale fiddler William Irwin. and The Boat Band have just released new CD "A TRIP TO THE LAKES" featuring these tunes. Come along to a gig and enjoy the English tunes and songs nestling in alongside the already eclectic offerings, whether it's at an all out ceilidh, a strictly cajun dance or a sit-down concert. The line-up is based on: Kate Barfield (fiddle, trombone, vocals), Mark Burke (percussion, accordions, vocals), Greg Stephens (guitar, banjo, vocals), Tony Weatherall (accordions, vocals), plus occasional special guests. http://www.harbourtownrecords.com/boatband.htm The Doughboys Since their debut appearance at The Ellesmere Port Festival in the early 90s the Doughboys have played at virtually every major cajun festival and cajun dance club in the country including clubs in Bolton, Brighton, Chester, Derby, Hinckley, London, Manchester, Peterborough, Portsmouth and Jersey to name just a few and regular appearances at the File Gumbo nights and festivals in London. With half of the band being of Latvian origin it comes as no surprise that the band have toured the Baltic Republic of Latvia where they astonished audiences with performances of Cajun, English and Latvian roots music. http://www.ockndough.co.uk/ Delta Maid Sunday 24th: Cajun Company The Cajun Company has been playing traditional Cajun music for over 14 years. They play this music the old timey way, in the spirit of early Cajun tradition, with all the raw edges and emotions right up front. They maintain the basic instrumental setup of the 20's and 30's: accordion, fiddle, acoustic guitar and 'tit fer. They're digging for the roots of Cajun music and as such they delve back through dancehall classics, rare fiddle tunes and old Creole songs. Led by Bas van der Poll, one of the most acclaimed accordion players outside of Louisiana, the Cajun Company's solid acoustic sound has earned them a place at the top of the European Cajun scene. Over the years they have performed at every Cajun festival in Europe, toured in Louisiana many times to perform at the Cajun Awards festival in the Blackham Coliseum, Lafayette, in the Liberty Theatre in Eunice and at the Festivals Acadiens, Lafayette. http://www.cajuncompany.net/ Information upon the festival: http://www.gloucestercajunfestival.co.uk online translation |

Bellowhead Features in BBC 4 Xmas Special - UKby Harley Jones |
 Half the band will appeared on the BBCI Breakfast Show on Thursday 17th December for a wee tune and a brief chat about the filming of the BBC 4 Xmas special. The special featured an exhilarating blend of folk and tradition and burlesque fun. Energetic 11-piece Bellowhead and The Unthanks get together with the impressive young singers Thea Gilmore and Lisa Knapp, plus other special guests. Steered by genial host Paul Sartin, the assembled artists perform seasonal song of their own alongside yuletide favourites, ranging from folk ballads and carols to parlour songs and carousing dance numbers, with everyone coming together for a final knees-up. Filmed at the atmospheric Shoreditch Town Hall, the setting evokes an old music hall combined with a festive Victorian family aprolour bedecked with garlands, period lamps and fireplace. Even the audience are dressed up in old-fashioned finery and prove themselves ready to kick up their heels. The Xmas special was broadcast 7 times on BBC national broadcast including BBC 4 on Christmast Day. The year finished up for Bellowhead with a New Years Eve Party, all 2,200 tickets sold out, at Southbank Centre. Online translation |
Afghanistan Pipe Ballad Dedicated to Troops - UKby Fergie MacDonald |
 Having been a physical training instructor during my service in the British armed forces, I feel that being an ex-serviceman prompted the motivation to compose a tune for our boys on active service in Afghanistan.The tune is a slow march dedicated to these brave boys in the front-line battle groups whose lives are on the line day in day out. During tours of duty in the war torn battle zones of Afghanistan. If is inevitable that battle groups take causalities. This tune is totally dedicated to them. Be it loss of limb or loss of life. Their bravery is unquestionably supreme. Although the tune is more suited to regimental bands and pipe bands, I think that my ceilidh band has re-created this beautifully and it touches the heart. I only hope I live long enough to hear it played by one of our famous regimental pipe bands. The Ceilidh Band Line-Up is: Fergie MacDonald \ John MacDonald The Family Ceilidh Band Morven MacDonald / Grant Lyall - Drums Addie Harper - Accordion Carol Ann Mackay - Pipes Online translation |

Luis di Matteo New CD and Tour - Uruguay, Europeby Harley Jones |
 At 75 years of age, Luis di Matteo is about to release his new CD titled "Iceberg". This will be his 3rd bandoneon solo album, and is due for release this month. Then, from Febuary 24th until March 6th, Luis will go on tour through Europe. Luis di Matteo learned to play the bandoneon from his father and he perfomed at an early age on stage. Luis finished his musical education at the Conservatory in his native city Montevideo, Uruguay. His studies of the bondoneon led him to Buenos Aires in the late 1950s where he met Astor Piazzolla for the first time. In 1962 he founded his first ensemble and began recording with his own formation as well as with other musicians. This led to international tours and some interesting projects with the film industry. In 1980 he gave his first performances in Europe where he has been touring regularly. Between 1983 and 1986 he cooperated with the music conservatory of Detmold, Germany. In 1987 he wrote the music for the Swedish film production Black Dawn/Los Dueños del Silencio. He took the opportunity of working and recording with a string orchestra for the first time in 1990/91. In the city of Uljanowsk (Lenin's birthplace) he recorded compositions of his own with the chamber soloists of the Uljanowsk National Symphony Orchestra. The last years have included new CD's, compositions and national and international performances.
