BELTUNA Y LA CIUDAD DE BARI HOMENAJEAN A PINO DI MODUGNO EN SU 80 CUMPLEAÑOS – ITALIAby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |

 El 5 de noviembre, el popular acordeonista Pino Di Modugno celebró su 80 cumpleaños, pues bien: el 15 de ese mismo mes fue homenajeado por la Sinfónica de Bari y la “Di Modugno family band” tocando también en el Showville de Bari.Pino Di Modugno al acordeón, sus hijos Nando (guitarra), Vito (auténtico virtuoso del piano y órgano Hammond ), su sobrino Vito Jr (bajo) y Mino Petruzzelli (percusión). La orquesta fue dirigida por Cettina Donato, famosa sobre todo en Sicilia. Nos ofrecieron un concierto mágico, pleno de colores, por sus manos desfilaron obras de Piazzolla, música pop, y temas ya clásicos como el Dizzy Fingers o el Tico Tico. Acudió al encuentro una adiencia de 700 personas ni más ni menos, entre los que se encontraba el propietario de Beltuna Accordions Arnaldo Mengascini y su esposa (imagen de la izquierda), quien presentó un nuevo modelo de acordeón destinado como regalo a Di Modugno. Este nuevo modelo (Beltuna Spirit) fue fabricado especialmente para Pino Di Modugno, quien inmediatamente se lo colgó a los hombros para el resto del concierto. Hojas de música de Pino Di Modugno están disponibles en Wurzburger Musikverlag Otra visita especial fue la del Director del Conservatorio Santa Cecilia de Roma, quien fue uno de los primeros estudiantes de Pino y obviamente es hoy uno de sus mejores amigos. Su aparición fue una gran sorpresa para todos. |

 The 2015 ‘Accordion Babes’ calendar is now available. As usual, all the ladies featured are accordionists, not models, and the calendar includes a CD featuring each of them. Renee de la Prade, the producer, writes, “This year's calendar is the best one yet; the first year we've had a Brazilian artist (Adriana Sanchez); and the first time I get to collaborate with a celebrated fantasy novelist (Peter S. Beagle) to produce a song together for the album. The calendar is also very sleek-looking because it's ad-free this year. I love the CD and I love our art. There will be a small shipping charge too, $6 in the U.S. and $12 in foreign countries. (That's for the 5 calendar deal. For bigger orders, I'll invoice you the correct shipping amount when we start communicating.)” The price deals are: 5 copies = $60 ($12 each) 10 copies = $100 ($10 each) 25 copies = $225 ($9 each) For further information email: squeezeboxgoddess@gmail.com |
