Hello, friends!

The video it isn't the best of Youtube, and my English is very poor, but I hope it like you.
The URL is
MERRY CHIRSTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well, I have writen the same message twice!

Hello, from Spain!
I play my concertina at home, because I have "her" only 3 months ago, and my list of tunes is very short yet. I only can play 12 songs, and with little chords. But I'd like to play out of home in the future (perhaps the next year).
I play too other instruments, mainly that in Salamanca call "gaita y tamboril", and I always enjoyed more when I played with others "tamborileros" like me, and when the people sings and dances with my music.
Playing with other musicians you can learn to play better: you can heard new tunes, you can see new styles, new rhythms,... And you can rest while the other musician plays!
I think it is better to play with others, and I do it always I can.

Hello!
I have watching the videos that you say (most of they are beautiful and amazing), and y have seen that there is some videos got in TV channels.
Some videos are from a program called "Geantraí", and the channel of this program is TG4. My questions are.
1. Is "Geantraí" a folk music program?
2. What means "Geantraí"?
3. Where is TG4 from?
Thank you for the videos, I have enjoyed a lot of watching then and listen to the music.

Hello!
Welcome to the forum and to the World of concertina. I am a new member too (I bought my concertina in september), but I feel in this palce like I was at home. Concertina is a beautiful instrument. If you don't love "her" yet, you will.
Welcome.

Hello, Juliette!
I saw two fo your videos: "L'enfant demon" and "Canción de cuna". I could not see the other video, "Fandanguillo", because sometimes my computer don't works very well.
The first video, "L'enfant demon", is fantastic, wonderful. But I have no words to express that I felt with the second video: "Canción de cuna".
Congratulations, Juliette.

Hello, friends!
I have been a lot of time without write in the forum, but I'm playing concertina yet, and I am learning a lot of things and tunes with "her". But I need to practise many hours to play like all the people of this forum. But I am learning and, in the future, if I continue this way, I'm going to create a folk group, or tu record a disc, or something of this.
Now I can't, but in Chritsmas I'm going to put in Youtube a video with me playing the concertina. But you must wait some weeks!
Well, I hope that all you are fine. Here, in Spain we have sun and hot still (in the afternoon, because in the night the temparature is cold). The Autum is wonderful!
Bye!

Too far for me. Next time!

Really, Asturias is a wonderful land.
Festivals? There is a lot of festivals in Spain, but I know only a few of them (and I have been in less that I would like).
The names of festivals (and date aprox.) are:
- ORTIGUEIRA. Galicia. Summer. Is the most famous festival of folk music in Spain.
- FOLK GUETXO. Basque Country. First days in semtember.
- ETNOHELMÁNTICA. Salamanca. Second week of september.
- INTERCÉLTICO SENDIM. Sendim (near Miranda do Douro. PORTUGAL)
You can see that I don't know many festivals. But all of them are good festivals. If I remember more, I put them into this forum.
Ah! the Cabrales (a very, very, very good cheese from Asturias), with some of "sidrina" (asturian cider)... WOW!!
If you go to Basque Country, don't miss the vasque food. "Idiazabal" cheese is very, very, very good too, and vasque cider is very good too. Well in Salamanca... is very long to say, better came to Salamanca and EAT!

Hello!
I just read juliette biography and her explanation abbout her new disc, and I have understood better the reasons that why she knows Spanish music.
Certainly, Mallorca is part of Spain (and what a pretty part!). My question about your disc was made because I didn't read your web (I'm sorry), but after I post my message in this forum I read the website and... BINGO! I found the answer to my question. Now I understand why.
Don't worry, I'm going to listen your disc (but first of all, I must get it). I'm going to write you (but not today, it's midnight!). But I promise you listen your disc and then tell you my opinion.
The problem of traditional musics from Spain (and I supoose than it happens with tradicional musics from other countries) is that the people of his own country ignores than this tipes of musics exist. In Spain, even in the news programs, always speak about flamenco festivals, or flamenco dancers, and flamenco singers. Always flamenco. But flamenco is a small part of tradicional music from Spain, and I think than it has less importance that seems. But flamenco has all the publicity of the world and that is the reason of his importance.
However, other musics in Spain so good like flamenco, are ignored by new, newpapers, radio,... They do not exists! By example, the instrument I play (three hole flute and tabor) is almost ignore out of Salamanca, or Cáceres, or Basque Country. Out of this three places, the peple think that this instrument is played only in the Basque Country, and call it whith the Basque name: "txistu" (in Spanish, "chistu" or "Chisto"). But this instrument is played in the Basque Country, León (called "chifla"), Zamora, Salamanca (called "gaita"), Cáceres,... and Huelva (where is called "flauta rociera"). But the people of Spain ignore all this because, we don't appear on TV!
And the same thing happens with the Basque "trikitixa", "txalaparta" and "alboka", or other instrumentes like "pipes" from Galicia, Asturias, Aragón, Zamora, Mallorca,... Or with the "dulzaina" from Valencia, or from Castilla, or from other places in Spain,... Or hundred and hundred of instruments. They are seriously in danger because Spain is "bulls, sun, paella and flamenco".
Well, I'd like write more, but it's very late! And I spend many time to write English, because I don't use to write it.
Well, Juliette, I promise ask you for your disc, and listen it (and enjoy it, I am sure).

I'm Spanish but I must say that I know nothing about Mallorca's music (I only know a group called S'Albaida). I know music from Galicia, Asturias, Kingdom of León, Extremadura, Castilla,... but from Mallorca even in Spain is difficult to get something.
How do you get Spanish music? Because I think that out of Spain the only Spanish music that sounds is "flamenco", when Spanish music is more rich than this, and there are a lot of traditional instruments, not only "Spanish guitar and castañuelas".

September's 11th (BAD DAY, not "bad they").
If my English teacher see how I write English... What a mistake!
-
Welcome to the forum, Jim!
I am not the better person to answer your questions, because I'm a new player too and because in my country (Spain) the concertina is not a very popular instrument (is most popular the accordion, or others instruments like pipes, guitars, flutes,...).
But I'm going to tel you my little experience.
I bougth my Anglo (20 keys) last september's 11th (bad they, we all know why) in Salamanca (Spain). Like you, is not the first instrumente I play (I play three hole flute and tabor), and concertina is new for me.
I have no teacher. I have no books. I have no discs. But I am learning by ear with tunes I now, tradicional tunes of Spain like "La Rianxeira" (Galicia), "El Garrotín" and "Asturias, patria querida" (Asturias),... And... I am learning a lot!
However, I think is better to have a teacher, if you have the chance, because with a teacher you get better tecnical style, and trucks,... Without teacher, I have "the tamborileru style" (jejeje).
I will record a video in a month and put it in Youtube, and you're going to see "the tamborileru style" :-)

Eureka!
The letters are the same that in Spain we write DO - RE - MI - FA - SOL - LA - SI
I'm sorry, it's very easy to see that I am a begginer.

In Spanish we say "forums" too. We don't use latin plural because... We speak Spanish, not Latin!
We get the Latin word, "forum", and then we aply Spanish rules, so the plural of this word in Spanish is "forums" or "fórumes" (I think the last fomr is more correct, but "fórum" is more used).
Last week I saw on TV that there was in Madrid a church where the celebrations are in Latin, so we can say than Latin is not a death language. It's very curious!

I love those "old" photos!
It's nice to see it, they are part of our little historia and (I said in other message) all "old" photos tell us a story.
Thank you very much for those photos!
-
Hello!
I love this old photos. I think thath old photos (in white & black) are better than modern photos, and itself tell us an story that don't do modern photos.
I have in my house a copy of one photography whit my grand-grandfather, two sisters of my grandmother and the only one brother of they. This brother died in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), so this photo has... 70 years? It's beautiful!
I am new in this instrument, so I don't meat nobody but Noel Hill (I visitied his web few days ago), but I think this photos have a great "valor" (sorry, I don't know this is right, and I haven't a diccionary near to me).
-
Mikefule is right. The time and practice make easier to learn new tones. I suposse that it happens whith all the instruments. It happens to mi whith the pipe and the tabor.
I have my concertina a week a week ago (I bouth "she" last week), and I have learned... I will say four (not completly). But I don't learn all the tunes in one day. My particular sistem is:
- First, I start whith the songs I know
- Then, I practice the new tune (but not one tune per day! It's too much!)
- After this, I have a rest: I'm going to drink, or to eat, or to walk, or to watch TV,... Some times I rest for 30 minutes, others for an hour,... It's depends on you.
- Finally, start the first step again.
I do this two or tree times a day, no more because you can finish very tired. I think it's a good sistem for learning, but not when you know a lot of songs.
-
I'm sorry for this question (I know perhaps isn't the bettrer place for this), but... what means all those letters and numbers? I suposse that it's relationed whith the buttons of concertina and the song, but I don't know what mens really. Can somebody help me, please?
Like a Waltz (in the language of mi little village - lionese language - we say "vas corríu", and in Spanish "vals"), whith the pipe and tabor I just play a song called "Manolo mío". Is a tradicional song, and the lyrics says:
Manolo mío
a mi me han dicho
que por tres meses
te vas a ir.
Esos tres meses
serán tres siglos,
Manolo mío,
llévame a mi.
(and repeat from "Esos tres meses"...).
The lyrics is longer. I will put it complete tomorrow (if I find the lyrics complete).
-
It's a good tale. When I went to the music shop, I didn't thinking to boy a concertina, I only wnet to see the instruments. There was a lot of them: piano, Spanish Guitar, fiddle, pipe,... When I saw the concertina, I falled in love of "she", so I understand you. But there was one thing different: my concertina was the only one tha there was in the shop, so I cannot choose.
But it is better, because I don't know the diferences betwen one concertina and other. How there was a only one concertina, I must not choose, but I am happy for this.
What a beautiful instrument!
-
jejeje My next concertina! First of all, I must learn to play this.
You have all the reason: it's funny! In the future, perhaps I'll have other concertina. In others instruments have more than one too: pipes (4), tabors (4), tin whistle (4), "txistu" (like the pipes of Salamanca, but in Basque Country stile),...
But I am a new player and, now, whith only one concertina it's fine.
-
If it can help you, this question is the same taht happens to me whith the traditional clothes and the tabor.
Whith the concertina, I don't put it on my leg. In the future... perhaps. But not yet.

Merry Christmas for all!
In Spain, the Santa don't give us the presents for Christmas. In Basque Conuntry, there is an old man called "Olentzero" (coal dealer?) that go down from the mountains and gives the presents to the basque children.
In the rest of Spain, The "Eastern Kings" (Reyes Magos de Oriente) give us the presents the 6th day of January.
With Santa, Olentzero or Kings, I wish you a lot of presents, and you pass in this year the best Christmas time in your life (but next year, I hope that the Christmas will be better than this year).
MERRY CHRISTMAS / FELIZ NAVIDAD
