Spotlight on Japan - Part 1

My YouTube favourites list is overflowing with music from Japan, so for the next few postings we'll be turning our spotlight eastwards.

On first inspection you'll think that Japan is full of nothing but boy bands and cutesy girl bands, but as we'll be seeing you only need to scratch the surface to find that's not the case. And what's wrong with cute girl bands anyway?

Accordion Clubbing Part 2: DJ Rynno

Continuing my series of accordion in modern dance music this is the Bucovina mix of Feel by DJ Rynno featuring Sylvia.

Seybold Hohner Magic Organa

That last post didn't turn out how I wanted. Hopefully this will be better.

This is a Seybold Hohner Magic Organa which is currently on Ebay.

It looks like an accordion, but in fact it's a kind of a music box as this video demonstrates.

Here's a pic of one of the paper rolls which contains the tunes.

Bonvicini Special Accordion

I just found this nice accordion on Ebay. Unfortunately I've been unable to nab a picture from the page, so you're just going to have to trust me that its worth clicking through to have a look.

More Nemours Jean Baptiste

Two more irresistible tracks from Haiti, both from Nemours Jean Baptiste.

This song is almost the same as the previous, who cares though, it's for dancing to.
