Daniel Bradbury Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 And to think, I lived in Bakersfield for years. Now I'm on the other side of the country. I would love to hear Basque music on the Accordion. Is there a tradition of button accordion in Basque music? While I was in Bakersfield, I was listening to Norteno music and looking for a Mexican Box Teacher. Best of Luck with the festival, wish I could be there.

JimLucas Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Is there a tradition of button accordion in Basque music? You better believe it! Try searching the net for "Trikitixa". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Coles Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Not only great music, but the Basques know how to put on a great festival! There was a large Basque community in Nevada where I used to do field work as a geologist in the 1980s. Great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoachimDelp Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Bravo Jim ! Or ask me ! Accordeon is taught in San Sebastin in the Conservatorio de Musica and there are excellent Players. There used to be World Champions, but even now there are young players succesful in International Competitions. More popular is the Trikitxa, the Basque Melodeon and they know to handle it. And as Ken says, we know to celbrate fiests. Kind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
