[Tango-L] Bandoneones -- smaller instruments being made forlittle hands

[Anna Zelenina]

In defense of bandoneon crossing national boarders let me remind you of the fact that it all started with instruments crossing boarders ;)

The history of bandoneon began with a certain Heinrich Band. The company Alfred Arnold, Carlsfeld, Germany got well known for producing the Bandoneon. A major part of the production was exported to South America. Production of the company ceased in 1964.

Here's a clip of "desde el alma", played by Orquesta del tandil, Argentina, at the bandonion festival held in Carlsfeld, Germany 2006.

And a young girl in Carlsfeld - no tango this time, but she still might discover tango music later in life ;)
