>>Oh Mike...that sounds like a fabulous CD (Bilbao 00.00h). I have not heard of Kepa Junkera. Have you ever heard of Flaco Jimenez? How did you come to hear him?<<
(I forgot to copy this to the list yesterday when I replied to Sharon, and also forgot to save the contents. Sharon, please forgive the repetition, and variation from the original.) Basically I saw Flaco in Wales a couple of times in a bar owned by a friend of mine and a few of us had a beer or twelve with the band after the show. They come back the following year and played to an even bigger house and we had even more beers. I've seen him here in Barcelona too but was unable to talk to him. A journalist friend of mine interviewed him for her paper and I asked her to get him to sign Sandra Cisneros' short story 'Bien Pretty' which appears in her book 'Woman Hollering Creek' and which opens with a line from his song 'ay te dejo en san antonio'. I mentioned in my original post that I don't know much about accordions but now that I think about it one of the cds I listen most is Astor Piazzola's 'Hora Zero' (or something like that), and I listen to a lot of tango music here. I had never thought about it before. Zydeco, traditional Basque music, Tex-Mex, these darn accordions are everywhere. mike, still listening to Kepa Junkera, in barcelona ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: Click Here
