Italienische Akkordeonfabriken sind wieder in Betrieb - Italienby Christine Johnstone |
 Anfang März ordnete die italienische Regierung eine virtuelle Sperrung eines Großteils ihres reichen Nordens an, einschließlich der Finanzhauptstadt Mailand. Dieser Versuch, das Coronavirus einzudämmen, schlug fehl und am 22. März schloss Italien landesweit alle nicht wesentlichen Fabriken und Geschäfte, um die Verbreitung des Coronavirus zu stoppen.Nach so vielen Todesfällen und der Zerstörung der Wirtschaft durch das Coronavirus geht Italien nun vorsichtig in Richtung Wiedereröffnung der Wirtschaft. Die italienischen Akkordeonfabriken sind diese Woche zur Arbeit zurückgekehrt und die Akkordeonproduktion ist wieder angelaufen. Accordions Worldwide (AWW) bietet ihren Millionen Lesern weltweit jedes Jahr kostenlose Dienste auf allen ihren Webseiten an. Die Kosten für AWW werden von ihren Akkordeon-Werbetreibenden und einigen Verkäufen aus der MusicForAccordion.com-Webseite übernommen. AWW bittet Sie deshalb, die Akkordeonfabriken zu unterstützen, die auf unseren Webseiten werben, um der Welt diese kostenlose Dienstleistungen zu ermöglichen. In diesen schwierigen wirtschaftlichen Zeiten kann Ihre Unterstützung zur Erholung beitragen. |

VE Day Party „Lock Down“, Stockport - Großbritannienby Rob Howard |
 Der 8. Mai 1945 war der Tag, an dem sich Deutschland ergab und der Zweite Weltkrieg in Europa zu Ende ging. In diesem Jahr jährt er sich zum 75. Mal der VE-Tag, an dem alle Arten von Sonderveranstaltungen wie Straßenfeste stattfinden sollten, ähnlich wie 1945.Obwohl der Covid19-Notfall die geplanten großen öffentlichen Feierlichkeiten am Donnerstag, dem 8. Mai 2020, gesponsert hat, fanden viele Straßenfeste, unter Vorsicht der sozialen Distanzierung, statt. Einige dieser Künstler waren Akkordeonisten, wie die in der Avondale Road in Stockport. Der Akkordeonist Rob Howard schreibt: Gestern Nachmittag war die Lockdown-Party am VE Day in der Avondale Road, und ich habe mein Bestes getan, um die Dinge auf meiner gebogenen Scandalli Scott Wood Four-Tastatur von 1935 zu beleben. Ich kam um 16 Uhr heraus und es war kaum jemand draußen, aber als ich mich mit God Save the Queen öffnete, kamen innerhalb weniger Minuten viele Leute mit Tischen, Stühlen, Getränken und Essen aus ihren Häusern und wir hatten sehr schnell eine Party los. Als ich die soziale Distanzierung beobachtete, wurde viel geredet und gelacht, und ich habe meinen Teil dazu beigetragen, ununterbrochen Musik zu spielen. Ich habe ungefähr zwei Stunden lang bei strahlendem Sonnenschein viele beliebte Kriegslieder gespielt, und es wurde sehr heiß. Unbeeindruckt machte ich trotzdem weiter und hatte viel Spaß dabei. Wir werden so etwas vielleicht nie wieder machen, aber es war gut, solange es dauerte. Für weitere Informationen senden Sie bitte ein Email an: robaccord5@hotmail.com |

 Published by: la Repubblica Newspaper, Rome, Italy by Raffaella Scuderi.April 25, 2020 Paddle reciting poems on the notes of an accordion bigger than him. It is a declaration of love for forests, to protect the indigenous peoples who inhabit it. An accordion, a canoe, and the notes of an ancient song deposited on the tops of the trees with paddle strokes. It is the personal battle of Eder Rodrigues do Nascimento in defense of the Brazilian Amazon. "Nature depends on you, let it live. It will thank you and the whole world, with great pleasure", recite his verses as he walks along the bends of the Jurua river, one of the tributaries of the Amazon River. "In my songs I talk about the protection of nature. I give free advice to everyone to do what I do: do not light fires, do not pollute the water and do not cut down trees. We must keep them, they are the ones who will save the world," he tells Afp . Eder is 60 years old, lives in Boa Vista, a village that is part of the Uacari nature reserve, Brazil, whose inhabitants live mainly on fishing and crops. Since the start of the pandemic in its region, 200 people have already died. "The land is drying up due to deforestation. We are very worried because we live in the jungle. - he says - Here come diseases that nobody knows. Sometimes people die without knowing what". And sing, with the accordion occupying all the space of his small canoe: "Whoever visits the Amazon arrives in paradise. Who lives in the Amazon is already in paradise. If you want to know biodiversity, come with me". Note: Deforestation and forest fires continue in the region that many NGO's call the "lung of the planet" and lobby to stop the reduction of these natural forests. |
