Hardly any instrument is as multi sided as the accordeon. It's a welcome guest for people who enjoy classical music, jazz, world music, film and theatre. The accordion has many appearances too, with a variety of names like: chromatic accordion, diatonic accordion, bandonion and concertina. The instrument is just as easy used solo as it is combined with other instruments. Accordeonportaal.nl shows you the way to the accordionist or band you have been looking for!
Riccardo Tesi Bimhuis
On May 28 the Uruguayan singer Beatriz Aguiar presents her new CD 'Nomade'. As a result of her own journey as a nomad, Beatriz links Latin American music to Southern European music, established by gypsies, African slaves and immigrants. Beatriz is accompanied by the musician of her own band, but also by the world famous accordion player Riccardo Tesi. The Tuscan composer is appreciated for the jazzy and world music influences he put in his own traditional Italian music. Monday May 28, Bimhuis Amsterdam, 8.30.
