‘14 Years Ago’ – French Players Scoop Top Prizes at the 1999 Coupe Mondiale - Germany

Jérôme RichardNoel AurelienThe Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending November 12th 1999 reported that French accordionists won most of the main prizes at the CIA Coupe Mondiale, held in Trossingen, Germany.

Clean Sweep for France at Coupe Mondiale – Germany
Contributed by Kevin Friedrich

The 52nd Coupe Mondiale International Competition for Accordion Soloists was held from November 3rd to 7th in Trossingen, Germany, with contestants from France winning each of the competition categories.

Jérôme Richard (picture left), student of Frédéric Deschamps, was crowned the 1999 CIA World Accordion Champion, after an exciting competition, which saw Dragan Vasiljevic (Yugoslavia) in second place. Last year, Dragan was first equal in the Junior Coupe Mondiale.

Noel Aurelien from France (a student of Jacques Mornét) was crowned the Virtuoso Entertainment Winner (he was the second place winner in this category last year), and Magali Boissier, from France won the Junior Coupe Mondiale.

It was nice to see some interesting family ties at this year's competition. Cathy Sommers (USA) who placed 7th in the Coupe Mondiale, is daughter of the CIA delegate from the USA-ATG, Joan Sommers. Johnny-Lee Leslie, who placed 5th in the Junior Coupe Mondiale, is son of the CIA Music Committee member John Leslie, and Mickael Richard, who placed third in the Virtuoso Entertainment category, is the brother of this year’s Coupe Mondiale Winner, Jérôme Richard!

The CIA were guests of the City of Trossingen, and it was fitting that a city with such a tremendous history in the accordion, was our final venue for this century.

1st Annual Polkapocalypse, Austin, Texas - USA

First Annual Polapocalypse poster
The 1st Annual Polapocalypse will be held at the Elisabet Ney Museum, 304 East 44th Street, Austin, Texas on Saturday, November 23, 2013 from 12 to 5 PM.

What is this? Polkapocalypse is a free, family friendly event featuring violinist Brian Marshall, The Fabulous Polkasonics, Conjunto Los Pinkys, The Flying Balalike Brothers, and tuba player Mark Rubin, accordionist Mark Halata and Texavia which is a Houston based Czech polka band with a country music flair led by Mark Halata.

Mark is very involved with the Czech-Moravian music of his ancestry. The songs he performs today are songs he has performed his entire life. Weekend trips to Moravia, Texas and exposure to Texas polka bands such as Joe Patek, Wence Shimek and The Red Ravens kept Mark in touch with the music and culture that has always been a part of his life.

As a teenager, Mark was exposed to other forms of accordion-flavored music. He is proficient in country, Cajun, Zydeco, Tex-Mex and rock 'n' roll. He has performed with The Rounders and the Romeo Dogs, both hybrid retro country and roots rock bands. Mark would occasionally slip in a Czech polka to educate and entertain the crowds on the Texas roots rock circuit.

He has jammed with Dave Alvin and Los Lobos. In 1998, Texas Polish fiddler Brian Marshall wanted Mark to play on his acclaimed Polish roots CD. For Texavia, Mark wanted simple, uncluttered arrangements. He recruited renown Austin bassist Mark Rubin from the band Bad Livers. On rhythm guitar and drums are Bruce and Jeff Brosch, respectively, sons of legendary Czech band leader Jimmy Brosch, who wrote the famous Corn Cockle Polka.

From Austin, Texas, The Fabulous Polkasonics play "old country" polkas, obereks, mazurka, waltz, shotis and features Chemnitzer concertina, drums and clarinet.
The Fabulous Polkasonics play "old country" polkas, obereks, mazurka, waltz, shotis and features Chemnitzer concertina, drums and clarinet.

.
The Austin Parks and Recreation Department and the staff of the Elisabet Ney Museum present The First Annual Polkapocalypse Pan-Ethnic Polkextravaganza, produced with help from Texas Folklife.

Come Saturday November 23 to see and hear a showcase of Texas cultural tradition in Austin – Polka music—drawing on the diverse ethnic cultures that helped build the current Texas cultural landscape.
