The best of accordion music is coming to LA in bulk at the SqueezeFestLA, presented by the Los Angeles Accordion Festival. On Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. at LA County鈥檚 historic John Anson Ford Amphitheatre we鈥檒l have an opportunity to enjoy the three bands that incorporate this exotic instrument into their work. For a musical time-travel will bring us:



Vagabond Opera, the six-piece Portland band is fearlessly comprised of musicians and neo-bohemians with lashing,http://www.fakewatcheswholesale.com/, amorphous purpose. Described by the Washington Post as 鈥淎 band of ceaseless charisma, boundless energy, impeccable musicianship and more than a little touch of both the naughty and exotic.鈥?the group delivers passionate offerings of Bohemian cabaret for young and old. Paris hot jazz, gut bucket swing, tangos, Ukrainian folk-punk ballads, klezmer and vigorous originals meet a world of riverboat gambling queens, Turkish belly dancers, and the enigmatic Marlene Dietrich. Weaving elements of Kurt Weil,nike free run 4, Duke Ellington and Edith Piaf with absurdist flair, theatrics and an old world mood, Vagabond Opera presents the new wave of opera鈥搇usty voices singing in 13 languages and presenting a cabaret of rich musical phrasing, sparkling lyrics and indomitable stage presence, all played with exuberance, skill and a gritty Vagabond edge. This is Opera liberated and reinvented for everyone!



Conjunto Los Pochos core members, Oto帽o Luj谩n (button-accordion) and Elliott Baribeault (bajo sexto) met in 1996 at the California Institute of the Arts. The two Southern California natives played traditional conjunto music as a duet at backyard barbeques and for anyone who wanted to enjoy Conjunto music. In the summer of 1997, the four-piece ensemble "Conjunto Los Pochos" was born and has performed regularly at the Annual Grassroots Music Festivals in New York and North Carolina and at the Annual Tejano Conjunto Festival in San Antonio,womens nike shox, Texas. The band has appeared on KMEX/Channel 34鈥檚 鈥淟os Angeles Al D铆a鈥?and has performed alongside legendary musicians such as Poncho S谩nchez, Los Dos Gilbertos, Flaco Jimenez and Little Joe y La Familia. The bands name initially came about to address the perceived peculiarity of a bunch of [primarily] acculturated Mexicans (Pochos), barely speaking Spanish and playing "Norte帽o" music (border music from Northern Mexico). Ironically though, this music - having stemmed from the merging of European and Texas-Mexican cultures in the late 1800s - continues to reflect the process of Pochismo (or acculturation) through its lyrics and music.



Feufollet has often been referred to as the future of Cajun music, a more current assessment must admit that they are now the present of Cajun music. Once idolized at early age for their precocious musicianship and sent all over the world as youthful emblems of Acadiana鈥檚 cultural resurgence, the members of Feufollet have, in the meantime, grown into the music as young adults leading the way once again as Cajun music extends itself into a new century. What sets Feufollet apart from other young bands is this ability to speak鈥攁nd especially sing鈥攊n Cajun French. Their mastery of the language along with the music has enabled them not only to understand songs from oral tradition, but has opened up the creative possibility of writing new material鈥攁ll with a beguiling mix of authoritative voice and youthful passion, seriousness of purpose and artistic risk-taking.
