Cool Accordion Girls

[Glug]

I was perusing youtube to find a range of links to show some friends that the accordion isn't just stuff from the 50's.

OK, boring so far, but I found a compilation video from Jo Brunenberg called "Cool Accordion Girls"


It's really quite fun and the description section lists the original videos.  Cheered me up nicely on a Sunday morning.

I only recognised one of them: Ksenija Sidorova

Glug,
In these times, carpe diem seems as good a motto as any!

More such?

Cheers, nice version of Dark Eyes.
And a left handed accordion at 0:19.

There's a version in 'Easy' Accordion Solos, I'll put it on the list

Hello Glug,

Very, very nice ........ and the music was okay. My personal favourite was the "Bunny Girl", but I have completely forgotten what she was playing.

Kind Regards,

Stephen.

Hiya,

I looked it up in the info section: "Hoppy Easter" by Miss Natasha Enquist.

And quite an interesting web site at http://www.natashaenquist.com/p/about_12.html

Glug,
Thanks. Very wide range, including the traditional T&A, which probably won't make ANYONE want to play the accordion, but may bring some wanted or unwanted attention to the accordionists.

The Russian Gypsy music is fantastic. So atmospheric. Only an accordion could do it justice.
Thanks

Thank you for sharing. I now understand the meaning of kitsch!
We had a programme in the UK called Eurotrash a decade ago, I think these videos would have featured well!

Saunders,
Don't be too hard on them...it takes all kinds to make a world: the profane as well as the sacred!

I won't show the video to any of my female friends! It's not on musical grounds, just the visual genre belongs on the kitsch side!

You're right , they're not really PC
