History | Let’s Polka – An Accordion Blog

It’s Not a Party Without an Accordion. One of the ideas we try to promote here is that the accordion isn’t just a polka instrument, or a Cajun instrument, or a Tex-Mex instrument: it’s all those things and much, much more. For well over a hundred years now, accordions have been an essential player in genres ranging from avant-garde jazz to zydeco, in countries from Albania to Zimbabwe. This past weekend, I stumbled across a great video that captures this idea. The Accordion Party. February 4th, 2014.
