Did anyone else know about this concertina festival?


Recommended Posts

Lovely! Thanks for sharing. A very different way to play the English concertina, using the bellows like a violin bow. And such a lively, beautiful repertoire !

EC is ‘the’ concertina in Bolivian music unlike Brazil/Argentina where the Bandoneon thrived. Interesting technique.. I notice a number of players using 2 fingers in the pinky support and playing with only 2 fingers. Thanks for bringing to our attention Matt.

The thing most notable to me was the constant almost frantic pumping of the bellows, treating it as though it was an Anglo. Couldn't tell if it was due to leaky bellows or just a regional eccentricity. An earlier video that I watched featuring one of the players sounded like he played every note with octaves.
