nickariondo1's video: Flamenco Taranto con Variaciones by Manuel Cano Nick Ariondo-accordion Larry Rousseve-guitar

DESCRIPTION: https://www.youtube.com/user/nickariondo1/videos Nick Ariondo's arrangement features the accordion and guitar in this unusual mix of Flamenco music ~ a specialized dance form of the Spanish gypsies. What makes this version so different and unique is the use of the accordion in a duo setting with the guitar as these two artists compliment one another in sound, rhythmic depth and melodic interplay. Guitarist Larry Rousseve introduced the Taranto con Variaciones to Nick Ariondo where Nick adapted and applied performance techniques from the Flamenco style to the accordion, such as guitar-type strumming effects, right-hand arpeggiated chords, left-hand bass/chord button patterns and harmonies, improvisational melodies & rhythms, Arabic-related influences and scales, etc... The final result ~ the accordion and guitar come together as one, bringing forth a new sound within a traditional performance style, creating homogenous blends of strings and reeds through the artistry of Flamenco -- a cultural treasure of the music and dance of Spain.
