<description><![CDATA[Forget All Points West or Lolapalooza if it should ever get here again: diehard fans with sufficient]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Forget All Points West or Lolapalooza if it should ever get here again: diehard fans with sufficient stamina (and water supply- it was overcast but pretty hot most of the day over by the river) to hang in through all seven acts on the bill at Pier One on the Hudson were treated to what might be the year&#8217;s best single-day outdoor New York music festival. Considering how much of a comeback the small but mighty accordion has made over the years here in the US, there was a sense of defiance and triumph in the air.</p>
<p>The opening act, Musette Explosion is a tremendously good side project from accordionist <a href="http://www.willholshouser.com/">Will Holshouser </a>and guitarist <a href="http://www.mattmunisteri.com/index.html">Matt Munisteri </a>- they do this gig a few times a year when there&#8217;s time, and given how much fun everybody onstage was having, it&#8217;s something of a surprise they don&#8217;t do it more often. Backed by bass saxophonist <a href="http://www.contrabass.com/pages/dis-bssx.html">Scott Robinson</a>, they ran through an alternately haunting and bouncy mix of swing-inflected French and Belgian instrumentals from mostly the 1930s and 40s. The highlight of the set, as usual, was Jo Privat&#8217;s eerie La Sorciere (The Witch), Munisteri weaving his way into a ferocious tremolo-picked solo on banjo. A Holshouser original, Chanson Pop built to a lushly plaintive, unaffectedly dramatic Baroque-inflected anthem. This group usually plays with a tuba, but Robinson made a great fit: blazing solos aren&#8217;t something you expect from a bass sax, but this guy delivered, particularly on the opening number, Gus Viseur&#8217;s swaying Swing Valse.</p>
<p>Mexican<em> norteno</em> band Suspenso del Norte were next, seemingly a project of the Javier family of Queens: father Pablo on guitar and lead vocals with his twelve-year-old son on button accordion along with a second guitar and rhythm section. What they play is essentially Mexican country music, with the same kind of swinging backbeat as what used to come out of Nashville before it became the hometown of lame pop-rock about fifteen years ago. Mixing popular hits along with originals, they connected with the small expat contingent who&#8217;d come out to see them, the powerfully built young accordionist supplying effortlessly fast, soulfully bubbling leads.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hectordelcurto.com">Hector Del Curto&#8217;s Eternal Tango Quintet</a> took the dance vibe into intense, wrenchingly passionate territory. With Del Curto on bandoneon, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/gustavocasenave">Gustavo Casenave</a> on piano, <a href="http://www.pedrogiraudo.com">Pedro Giraudo </a>on upright bass along with an inspired cellist and violinist, they mixed originals and classics, from a stately, haunting version of the traditional Argentinian tango El Choclo to a fast yet lush take of the Piazzolla classic Libertango. Another Piazzolla composition, Michaelangelo #17 bristled with stormy bandoneon and string flourishes; an original, Emancipacion built suspense with a martial beat and some vivid interplay between piano and bandoneon, a device that Del Curto employed very effectively and evocatively through the set&#8217;s brooding ebbs and aching swells.</p>
<p>The Mai<a href="http://www.mainsqueezeorchestra.com">n Squeeze Orchestra</a> were next: being the pet project of Walter Kuhr, proprietor of the <a href="http://www.mainsqueeze-nyc.com">Main Squeeze accordion center</a> on Essex St., this is an annual event for the all-female twelve-accordion group. It was a characteristically playful, tongue-in-cheek yet also virtuosic and fascinatingly arranged performance. They got the schlock out of the way first &#8211; no matter how much you polish a turd, there&#8217;s not much you can do with the Eurythmics or Michael Jackson. &#8220;This is a happy song about love,&#8221; announced one of the women, taking a turn on vocals on an oompah version of the Joy Division classic Love Will Tear Us Apart. They reinvented Misirlou as a tango and Hava Nagila as a hora, seguing into a happy, upbeat wedding dance. The Kinks&#8217; Demon Alcohol was as amusingly over-the-top as usual; they closed with their deliciously deadpan, full-length version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Maybe if we get lucky they&#8217;ll do Freebird next year.</p>
<p>Italian composer/accordionist <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/melangitude">Roberto Cassan</a> and classical guitarist <a href="http://www.johnmuratore.com">John Muratore</a> followed with a fascinating, cutting-edge program that spanned from a couple of swinging yet pensive Piazzolla compositions originally written for guitar and flute, to a darkly expansive instrumental by a contemporary Cuban composer, two rousing Italian tarantellas and a long opening number with echoes of both Celtic music and bluesy Hot Tuna-style improvisation.</p>
<p>The big hit of the festival was <a href="http://www.myspace.com/lionyparra">Liony Parra y la Mega Mafia Tipica</a>, who absolutely slayed with a wildly danceable set of merengue. Parra delivered lightning-fast rivulets on his button accordion, sometimes trading off with the band&#8217;s excellent sax player, who matched him note for note on some pretty crazy trills. Along with a harmony singer,  they had a rhythm section including congas, cajon and bass drum along with a five-string bassist who stole the show, punching in booming chords to bring a phrase to a crescendo, adding eerie atonal accents, liquid arpeggios and even some laid-back, unpretentious two-handed tapping when things got really sick. They took their time working in with a long intro, just accordion and the drums, then the bass hit a tritone and they went flying. La Mega Mafia Tipica&#8217;s merengue is party music, first and foremost: they don&#8217;t sing much except on the choruses. This set had a bunch of deliriously hypnotic two-chord jams, bass behind the beat for a fat, seductive groove. They&#8217;d shake up the rhythm in places, accordion and sometimes the bass playing three on four for an extended vamp. The last song of the set had a trick ending that took pretty much everybody by surprise: of all the bands on the schedule, only la Mega Mafia Tipica got an encore because nobody wanted the party to stop.</p>
<p>That Sla<a href="http://www.myspace.com/slavicsoulparty">vic Soul Party</a> accordionist <a href="http://www.peterstanaccordion.com">Peter Stan</a> and his four-piece backing band weren&#8217;t anticlimactic speaks for itself. Stan is something of the Balkan Rick Wakeman, blessed with unearthly speed and fond of playing a lot of notes. This time out he had his son Peter Jr. on chromatic button accordion, playing much like his dad, along with violin, synthesizer usually supplying the basslines and somewhat minimalist drums. By now, it was late, the rain was picking up and everybody except the growing line of dancers in front of the stage seemed pretty exhausted. But it was impossible to leave. Stan plays the kind of modern Balkan dance music you hear at Mehanata, a slick feel made slicker by the artificial bass sound of the synth. But the tunes are relentless and often haunting. He soloed his way from country to country, from Romanian gypsy to klezmer. The band mixed it up, from the happy, upbeat Serbian pop song Nishka Banya to the stately, sweepingly ornate original instrumental Gypsy Soul Fantasy to several edgy dance numbers sung by guest vocalist <a href="http://www.myspace.com/batotheyugo">Bato the Yugo</a>. It was an appropriately bracing way to wind up the evening. Watch this space for upcoming NYC dates by all these bands.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Gestern hat für Innuendo der Festivalsommer begonnen: wir haben mit Mad Caddies, Eternal Tango und einigen weiteren das RockWell in Saarwellingen musikalisch beglückt. Unsere Setlist war zwar nicht allzu lang, dafür aber um so innovativer: genau ein Song war von unserem alten Album, und ganze 3 Songs hatten ihre absolute Live-Premiere.</p>
<p>Nach unserer Show konnten wir dann auch mal so richtig Festivalluft schnuppern, mit Backstage, Catering, Pils und so. Es war ein super Abend!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://derdavid.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/rockwell.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-188 aligncenter" src="http://derdavid.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/rockwell.jpg" alt="Hannah, Martin und ich." width="510" height="339" /></a></p>
<p>NACHTRAG: Samstags waren wir dann auch wieder da, diesmal nur um zu gucken und eine Cola zu trinken. Die französischen Bands The Nuances und Mypollux waren echt klasse, aber der in den Medien so hoch gelobte Headliner Sonic Syndicate enttäuschte auf ganzer Linie.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>All-Areas-Magazine (Pressemitteilung) 25.06.2008</p>
<p><img src="http://www.all-areas-magazine.de/pics/RK_Schriftzug1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In 10 Tagen, am <strong>05. Juli 2008</strong>, ist es wieder soweit und das Warten hat ein Ende. <strong>RhEINKULTUR </strong>ist Deutschlands größtes eintrittsfreies Festival. In über zwei Jahrzehnten entwickelte sich die Veranstaltung zu einem Publikumsmagneten mit Besuchern bis zu 170.000. Die Zuschauer kommen aus der ganzen Republik und dem näheren Ausland, um auf verschiedenen Bühnen Künstler unterschiedlichster Stile zu sehen. <strong>RhEINKULTUR </strong>bietet ein offenes Programm für offene Leute. <strong>RhEINKULTUR </strong>findet jährlich am letzten Juni- oder ersten Juliwochenende statt.</p>

<p>Die Veranstaltung finanziert sich über Getränkeverkauf, Sponsoren und Zuschüsse der Stadt Bonn. Trotz begrenzter Budgets hat das <strong>RhEINKULTUR</strong>-Team es verstanden, ein riesiges Event zu zaubern, das von kommerziellen Festivals gesetzten Standards sowie den daraus gebildeten Ansprüchen der Zuschauer gerecht wird. Ein Unterfangen, das ohne die Solidarität von Partnern, Bands und Helfern undenkbar wäre.</p>
<p><strong>RhEINKULTUR </strong>trägt als einziges Festival dieser Größenordnung das <strong>“Sound For Nature”-Siegel</strong>, mit dem sie für ihre Bemühungen um Umweltschutz und Nachhaltigkeit ausgezeichnet wurde. Die Besucherzahlen beweisen, dass das Konzept der <strong>RhEINKULTUR </strong>– ein qualitativ hochwertiges und vielschichtiges Programm auch ohne die ganz großen Namen zu bieten – aufgeht. Obwohl es kein großes Geld zu verdienen gibt, suchen zahlreiche angesagte Acts, Labels und Agenten die Zusammenarbeit, wissen sie doch um die einmalige Atmosphäre und nicht zuletzt um Besucherzahlen, die die der kommerziellen Festivals bei weitem übertreffen.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.easybuenosairescity.com/fotos/tango2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.easybuenosairescity.com/fotos/tango2.jpg" height="495" width="357" /></a></div>
<p>El <a href="http://www.esto.es/tango/">tango</a> aquí estuvo de moda tan reciente como este mes de noviembre.  Se hicieron presentaciones, galas en su honor, clases en las academias, etc. Se ha convertido en una apreciación de unos movimientos, descritos por muchas personas que los han presenciado como llenos de increíble pasión y misterio. Tales movimientos parecen haber sido menos descifrados por el selecto público puertorriqueño quizás porque irónicamente es más común para una élite ver y estudiar  en esta parte del Caribe tropical e hispanoparlante una representación del ballet clásico ya perteneciente a la cultura universal que del tango, originado entre Buenos Aires y las áreas circundantes al <a href="http://www.lapshin.org/cultivar/N26/PIC/Rio-de-la-Plata.jpg">Río de la Plata</a>.  No es que me parezca mal la historia del ballet en Puerto Rico y es innegable que es la base en la formación de todo bailarín.</p>
<p>Se oye decir: “Tango!” en un lugar cercano y una pareja en un salón se toma de las manos con los brazos extendidos horizontalmente, juntan sus rostros haciendo que sus cachetitos se besen y se dirigen alargando sus piernas hacia un extremo lateral para luego regresar girando en círculos o con la misma rigidez con la que comenzaron. Si hubiese alguna flor, en especial una rosa (y que sea roja, eh), pues mucho mejor porque complementaría la estampa siendo colocada en alguna de la pareja de bocas de los danzantes que improvisan. El tango significa para muchos un elegante baile para ser observado y ¿quién no ha escuchado decir que es el arte del acto amoroso en pareja  mostrado de manera vertical? Los pies se coquetean, las miradas fijas y los cuerpos sincronizados al compás de la música. El tango es mucho más que brillos adheridos al traje de la mujer en escena, las luces haciendo sus efectos y la hipnosis de la presentación en vivo.</p>
<p>El jueves 8 de noviembre, en la noche, se presentó en el Teatro de la UPR el espectáculo Eternal Tango. La actividad era  la interpretación de música en vivo de los músicos Héctor del Curto (bandoneón y dirección), Jisso Ok (violonchelo), Gustavo Casenave (piano), Nick Danielson (violín), Pedro Giraudo (contrabajo) y la coreografía de los bailarines Natalia Hills y Francisco Forquera (que han bailado en películas de Hollywood  así como en la presentació de Forever Tango  desde 1995 en San Frnacisco, Londres y otras partes del mundo) para acompañar el tango. La actividad se concentró en la representación artística y musical de tangos famosos y otros de la propia autoría de Héctor del Curto. El más esperado y aplaudido lo fue La Cumparsita de Matos Rodríguez, que fue interpretada luego de una falsa salida al final del evento. Los temas del amor, desamor y despedidass estuvieron presente en la mayoría de las piezas musicales así como en los bailes cuya intensidad y entrega conmovía al público presente.  Había técnica, había devoción, había  fuerza, había pasos y entrega en el momento de ejecutar las canciones que se acompañaban de  los pies y la concentración de los  bailarines. El director Del Curto nos narraba antes de cada propuesta una breve introducción e incluso para hacernos sus confidentes nos reveló que el bebé que esperaba la chelista Jisso Ok era la dulce espera entre ambos esposos. La calidad interpretativa de los músicos, ante un sencillo escenario, y los ágiles e increíbles movimientos de los bailarines se complementaron entre sí. Los músicos tocaban varias piezas y entre un grupo de éstas entraban los experimentados bailarines al escenario, lo que me pareció muy bien ya que creaba un balance para disfrutar y valorar el trabajo y el talento de todos los artistas. Este fue un gran acierto que nos permitió disfrutar de manera más cómoda y apreciar mejor la actividad. Aunque debo admitir que esperaba un espectáculo totalmente bailado con música previamente grabada de fondo y quizás hubiese preferido ver más números de tango bailados (el baile es mi aficción) pero sin sacrificar la música en vivo que escuché. Hubo un momento en particular en que me desconcentré a mí misma del escenario y me sentí muy privilegiada de estar viendo un espectáculo de tango de gran calidad frente a mis ojos ya que es algo poco cotidiano. No es tan común  porque no tenemos desde nuestro país tanto acceso a oportunidades como éstas tanto como nos gustaría. Es algo que debe remediarse  porque esta música y su danza  provienen desde  la cercana Argentina&#8230; cercana en el idioma, en su cultura y en ser la cuna del baile que tantas pasiones despierta en nuestro pais tanto en cantantes de tangos de pecado como en seguidores.</p>
