EL CACHIVACHE QUINTETO - FI/Argentinaby Diatonic News |
 |
| 25th Oct - 00.30 h THEATRE STAGE, MAIN AUDITORIUM, TAMPERE HALL Future tango played in the old-school way. El Cachivache Quinteto have spent the last decade ceaselessly touring around the globe, honing their distinctive brand of tango punk into a formidably tight, sensuously dance-inducing style. The band was formed in 2008 by guitarist Vito Venturino and pianist Pablo Montanelli – two Argentinians living in Spain, both eager to reconnect with their porteño roots and give them a contemporary makeover. Preliminary incursions into Europe’s burgeoning tango club circuit proved successful and in 2013 they returned to Buenos Aires, from where they’ve continued to bring their classic tango with a rock aesthetic to more than 800 shows in 50 countries on 3 continents. And when not touring they can be found every Monday at the city’s leading cutting-edge tango club, the Batifondo Milonga. It’s old, new, tango eternal.

Global Musik Festival/Renato Borghetti Quartet - Germanyby Diatonic News |
 Puschkinhaus | Kardinal-Albrecht- Str. 6 | 06108 HalleRenato Borghetti quartet „Warlock with elegance and passion“ Thursday 31.10.2019, 7.30 p.m., Puschkinhaus When you think of Brazil as just Samba and Bossa Nova, you deprive yourself of a large part of the vast cosmos of sounds that this giant country produces. Little known in Europe is the music of the deep south. Renato Borghetti is one of the big stars there and has already been nominated several times for a Grammy. The Gaúcho storms the stage with a straw hat, long mane and wide riding trousers, reaches into the keys of his accordion and instantly ignites a fireworks display with flashes of sound from Milonga, Polka, Vanerão, Chamamé and Fandango - all those mixed forms that have emerged from the encounter of German, Bohemian and Italian emigrants with the black rhythms of Africa and the traditions of the Indios. He lets the soul of the pampa congenially meet jazz, tango and chamber music. www.renatoborghetti.com.br Renato Borghetti: diatonic accordion Pedro Figureiredo: flute, saxophone Daniel Sá: guitar Vitor Peixoto: piano https://www.global-music-festival.net/program-2019-eng/renato-borghetti-quartet-eng/ |

| Sun, October 20, 2019 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM EDT German American Cultural Society 78 Carter Avenue/Pawtucket, RI 02861 Louisiana's finest, four-time Grammy-Nominated, world-renown Pine Leaf Boys have made a name for presenting their own inimitable brand of Louisiana music with youthful exuberance. Hailing from southwest Louisiana, the Pine Leaf Boys, known for their wild shows and thoughtful arrangements, have breathed new life into Louisiana music, reviving ancient songs and bringing them to the bandstand. Being described in the New York Times as, "... the link that connects the young and the old generations," and, "the best new, energetic, and fun Cajun band in a very long time," the Pine Leaf Boys play the old fashion dance hall standards while making a priority to bring many of the more obscure songs of past masters into their repertoire and play them with gusto. |

Im Jahr 2015 hat es eine personelle Umstellung in der Gruppe gegeben. Brigitte Laska hat das Ensemble schweren Herzens verlassen, um mehr Zeit für ihre Familie zu finden.

Gemeinsam sind die vier nun weiterhin mit allen Arten und Größen von Mundharmonikas rund um den Globus unterwegs.

BAL FOLK AVEC JONSSON COUDROY / DUO LETRON / LALOY / NOVAR - PONT PEAN - FRby Diatonic News |
 11/10/2019 - 20:30 à 23:00Espace Beausoleil Allée de la Mine - PONT PEAN Duo Jonsson Coudroy Deux instruments, deux pays. Violon et accordéon, Suède et France, Lena Jonsson et Martin Coudroy ont vogué bien loin de leurs rivages respectifs, avant de se rencontrer. Des routes qui se croisent, des musiques qui s’échangent, et très vite l’évidence qu’ils ont beaucoup à se dire. D’ailleurs, les deux prodiges partagent un désir commun : s’approprier avec fougue la tradition des musiques à danser. Sur scène, archet et soufflet s’entremêlent, s’enlacent et se défient pour inventer une musique vivante, joyeuse et surprenante. Duo Le Tron Laloy « Il était sans doute écrit quelque part que Didier Laloy, élève de Bruno Le Tron à ses 13 ans, allait un jour jouer avec ce dernier. Avec Tref (accompagnés de Wim Claeys et Frédéric Malempré) et les Samuraï (quintet d’accordéons, présent au Grand Soufflet l’an passé), l’occasion leur a été donnée de prouver que tous deux sont des géants de l’accordéon diatonique. Mais lorsqu’ils s’exécutent en duo, il en résulte un tandem parfait et équilibré qui partage une musique de bal au sommet de son art. Quelques classiques du répertoire de bal, bien sûr, mais quelques surprises aussi ! Novar NOVAR, c’est nouveau. Des morceaux de trad, des morceaux d’electro. La luminosité de la vielle de Thierry Nouat et la noirceur de la cornemuse de Toon van Mierlo. Massivement soutenu par le clavier de Jeroen Geerinck et l’accordéon d’Aurélien Claranbaux qui vous frappe comme un coup de poing dans le noir. Un groupe de musiciens réputés pour leur son absolument « néo ». https://www.legrandsoufflet.fr/Bal-Folk |
Suistamon Sähkö @ WOMEX - Finlandby Diatonic News |
 |
| 23th Oct 2019 - 20.30h THEATRE STAGE, MAIN AUDITORIUM, TAMPERE HALL To commemorate the Opening of the notable 25th-anniversary edition of WOMEX, this year four top-notch Finnish acts will be performing at the Arctic Fire - Pohjoiset tulet opening concert. This year's Opening artists are: Pauanne, a power trio described as folk fiction, who incorporate archive recordings from the last 100 years into their new folk-grit sound; Pekko Käppi, a Finnish folk music composer, singer and jouhikko (ancient Finnish bowed lyre); Suistamon Sähkö, a folktronica act with a pinch of folk poetry, rap and manic dance moves; and Vildá, a duo that is a blend of indigenous Sámi yoik. The concert is staged and directed by internationally-noted choreographer and dancer Kaari Martin, together with composer, musician, producer Roni Martin, renowned for their ensemble Compañía Kaari & Roni Martin. Suistamon Sähkö - Scratchy archive tapes, a toy accordion and a hydroelectric power station: just some of the aural and thematic ingredients of Suistamon Sähkö’s potent and energy laden 'folktronica'. A call to arms and a call to the dancefloor, their politically activated mix of rap poetry and Karelian roots is informed by the extensive research of accordionist, composer and lyricist, Anne-Mari Kivimäki, into the culture and turbulent history of the Russian, once Finnish, region of eastern Karelia. Migrants' stories are carried along on trance-inducing rhythms squeezed out of her button accordion as multi-tasking Sväng harmonicat and ubiquitous collaborator, Eero Grundström, tweaks the beats and the dance-inducing electronics. Volatile vocals and incessant animation are provided by Reeta-Kaisa Iles and Tuomas Juntunen. A committed quartet whose intriguing stories of the past resonate with contemporary relevance, both lyrically and musically.
