 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending October 19th 2001 included a tribute to the Anconetani family, originally from Italy, who began manufacturing accordions in Argentina in 1896, and went on to help found the Asociación Internacional de Acordeonistas - AIDA (Argentina Accordion Association). Several leading South American accordionists, including Chango Spasiuk, use Anconetani instruments. In 2007 the Anconetani Accordion Museum opened in Buenos Aires, showcasing the family’s instruments through the years. Special Guests Attend Tribute - Argentina Contributed by Angel Russo The tribute to the Anconetani family, organized by the Secretariat of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires and held in Capital Federal on October 7th was a great success. Giovanni Anconetani travelled from Italy to Argentina in 1892 and began the first Argentinean accordion manufacturing business 105 years ago in 1896. His four children continued the business, which is now run by the two survivors Josefina (86) and Nazareno (82) who both attended the celebrations. The event included a march of over 40 top accordionists such as Julio Erman, Luis Santisi, Caruso, Julio Solari, Angel Russo and many more who accompanied Nazareno Anconetani. The Anconetani family, together with other accordionists, founded the Asociación Internacional de Acordeonistas - AIDA (Argentina Accordion Association). |
