Katraina
Información
por Rob
Howard
El
reciente desastre ocurrido por el huracán ha devastado gran
parte de Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama y más duramente
la ciudad de New Orleáns, es una catástrofe de proporciones
inimaginables. Louisiana es la cuna del Cajón y del Zydeco,
y muchos acordeonistas han sido afectados por este gran problema.
New Orleáns es, por supuesto, el epicentro del jazz y el
blues y muchos músicos han sido doblemente afectados.
Tener
noticias sobre los músicos no es fácil en este momento,
pero los siguientes contactos pueden ayudar: la radio WWOZ dedicada
principalmente al jzz y KBON especializada en Zydeco y Cajón,
están ofreciendo noticias sobre acordeonistas y otros músicos.
También es posible que el Director de la Union de Músicos
en New Orleáns, J.Kim Foreman, tenga información así
como una base de datos tras la tragedia.

Piaf
Connection Concert, Melbourne - Australia
Contributed by Rob
Howard
 Melbourne
accordionist, Bernadette
Conlon, in conjunction with one of Australia's most innovative,
bilingual, French/English primary schools, Camberwell Primary, created
a cabaret spectacular, which featured the music and life of Edith
Piaf. The show was performed in the traditional setting of a cabaret,
which set the gritty street urchins of Paris, beside the chic upper
set of the 1930s.
The cabaret was accompanied by the solo accordion of Bernadette
Conlon, who arranged the music for the elaborate choreography, which
included the Can-Can, depicted scenes of Piaf's life, her acrobat
father, her recordings and some of the many loves of her life. In
particular, the cabaret focused on the love of Piaf's life, world
middleweight champion boxer, Marcel Cerdan, who died in a plane
crash in 1949, and for whom Piaf wrote Hymn to Love.
Marcel's great grand niece, Olivia Cerdan, who is a student at Camberwell
Primary School, sang in this moving production, Piaf's two most
famous songs La Vie En Rose and No Regrets, playing both Piaf and
cabaret singer Juliette Greco.
The professional production was much more than simply a school play,
with the accordion and Bernadette
as its centrepiece. Three performances were given of this wonderful
show.
