Looking to add some more "Ethnic" music to my repertoire and maybe you can suggest some songs. I am going to list some of the ones I play and like in different styles so you can get an idea and maybe recommend similar songs.
,
Italian:
Mother born in Italy so I learned a LOT as a kid, have quite a few of those already, mostly older traditional stuff, O Marie, CiriBiriBin, Funiculi Funicula, Tesoro Mio....etc.
French:
Really like what I call the french Cafe' style music, would like to learn more. presently play:
La Vie en Rose
Under Paris Skies
Love is Blue
C'Est Si Bon
Spanish
Play some that are mix of Gypsy Jazz and Latin like Bossa Dorado but also:
Tico-Tico
Libertango
Besame mucho
La Partida
ElChoclo
Manha De Carnaval - Black Orpheus
Amor
Spanish Eyes
Perfidia
Malaguena - though it is tough getting my fingers to move fast enough anymore.
------not Lady of Spain
Eastern European
Have a number of polka of course but like some of the other folk music
Two Guitars
Songs from Fiddler on Roof
Hungarian Dance no. 5
NOt much from other countries, little bit of Irish. I am sure there is a lot more out there that fits the accordion well, tell me what songs are your favorites and I can try to find the music and learn them.
Thanks
Mike
