‘14 Years Ago’ –Accordionists perform at India’s ‘World Music Day’ in 1999

The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending July 9th 1999 reported that accordionists M. B. Prakash and P. Ravindra performed in a World Music Day concert held in Bangalore, India. We know that accordions are played in India, and the instrument fits well into the country’s traditional folk music, but we rarely get to know about accordion activity there. Can anyone in India let Accordions Worldwide know what goes on?

World Music Day - India
Contributed by Ravindra Rao

Accordionists M. B. Prakash and P. Ravindra (India) celebrated World Music Day in June with concerts in Bangalore with other musicians who performed a variety of music such as Indian classical, folk and western folk.

The duo concert included polkas, waltzes, tarantellas and landlers. The concert was well received, especially by the French people present, who felt they were at home with music rendered with great authenticity. The response was so positive that the organizers have requested the duo perform again for the next World Music Day.
