Flaco Jimenez’s 'Live' Hohner Accordion Clinic, Texas - USAby Gilbert Reyes, Hohner Accordion Product Manager, USA |
 |
| Hohner sponsored an online clinic with Flaco Jimenez at VideoRanch3D on Saturday March 20th. VideoRanch3D is owned by Michael Nesmith, once with The Monkees, and the intention was to do something different online besides concerts. Flaco Jimenez talked about the Hohner Signature Series Accordion, his music, and the history of Tex-Mex music, attracting viewers from all over the world. Flaco Jimenez (born 1939) is to Tex-Mex music what Clifton Chenier was to Zydeco or Jimmy Shand to Scottish dance music. Tex-Mex is the accordion-driven folk music of the working class Americans of Mexican origin living in Texas, and Flaco Jimenez has consistently been the genre’s best-known and most commercially successful exponent worldwide. |
