Calle 13 are one of the more inventive reggaeton acts that I've come across, and they've excelled themselves with this - their latest single. They're joined by Bajofondo Tango Club on this track to create a tango/reggaeton combination (does that make it tangoeton ?).

Régis Gizavo
Régis Gizavo is a fabulous accordion player from Madagascar, and the very generous Matt from "Benn loxo du taccu" has posted 2 tracks of his for us all to hear. Thanks Matt!

Harmonica with Bells
Harmonicas with bell attachments are highly sought after by collectors. This one sold for $201 (£102) on Ebay. Let me know if you see one at your local car boot fair !
The Cymbalon in a Gypsy Orchestra
I've never seen one of these for sale before. It's a Cymbalon from Hungary made in about 1875 and fully working. It sold for a shamefully low price of $1,200 (£611).
For a great example of one in action then it's over to the ever wonderful Taraf de Haidouks who are here joined by the Kocani Orchestar and Tarik Tuxsiszoglu on derbouka. If only symphony orchestras sounded like this ! This track is so wonderful I keep watching over and over again. Unfortunately it cuts out early, so I must go and buy the DVD this came from.
