After some of the comments yesterday expressing concern about whether the musicians make it difficult to talk, I should add that the musicians walk around from restaurant to restaurant, so they stay for a few songs at each restaurant.
The accordion has apparently dropped off in popularity since the middle of the 20th Century, as it used to be common for children to take accordion lessons.
This week we are showing photos of the Church of the Holy Seplulchre in Jerusalem on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
Some people think that accordions are archaic and pretty pedestrian, but I appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteNice close up.
ReplyDeletegreat close-ups of the musicians
ReplyDeleteI like this close up view.
ReplyDeleteI associate accordions with polka music. Love the sound.
ReplyDeleteThe accordion has really lost popularity in the US. How could it play hip hop? However, its cousin, the bandoneon, remains as strong as ever in Argentina. I think it's the much more expressive of the two.
