KEXP 90.3 FM - where the music matters

Two of the world's finest accordion players, Flaco Jimenez and Spain's Kepa Junkera, played at the 1998 Rivermead festival. In 1999 it was the turn of Raul Barboza, a virtuoso musician from Argentina. Argentina is, of course, the home of the tango, a style that is known the world over. But there is another indigenous Argentine music, chamamé, and it's this music that Raul Barboza has played, and even come to define, for the past 50 years. - WOMAD 2001
