| On May 5th, the Catalan Association of accordionists in the city of Lleida celebrated the 10th Acordionada, with the participation of 120 musicians and various outdoor activities to promote the accordion. Lleida City is one of the oldet cities in Spain, about 180 km from Barcelona. For May 5th, it became the capital of the accordion with the 10th Acordionada, a meeting that is prepared throughout the year and takes place in a different city each year. On this occasion, 120 accordionists, between 8 and 70 years, gathered in Lleida, from a dozens of towns throughout Catalonia. Performances at the Enric Granados Auditorium included Vibratango (picture above), several groups of small, medium, and large numbers throughout the day and there was also open air concerts. The Deputy Mayor Montse Parra congratulated the ACDA for this the event, highlighting their involvement and initiative. President of ACDA, Raquel Prado, said that the proposal arose from the desire of music schools and conservatories, where there were accordionists, to promote their instrument. The 10th Acordionada was well supported with very good audiences. |
