Bottasso invites #3. Naragonia [Aperitief 17h]

"I was supposed to meet Naragonia for a workshop and a concert in Belgium but this got canceled few days before. Since the COVID restrictions in the Netherlands are lighter we thought of meeting in Batavierhuis to play a last-minute concert together.

Naragonia are Pascale Rubens and Toon Van Mierlo; they started playing together in 2003 revolutionizing the folk music scene of Flanders. They have composed tons of new melodies inspired by flemish and french traditional music.
They perform with an elegance and a passion that I rarely found elsewhere.

Pascale is one of the most talented Belgian diatonic accordion player (and she plays also the violin); Toon is a multi-instrumentalist specialized in the flemish bagpipe, tin whistle and diatonic accordion.

Come to discover Naragonia’s world of sweet emotions and pure melodies.

The idea of this series is to explore the combinations of trekharmonica (diatonic accordion) with other instruments, sounds, forms of art, and concepts and see how they can blend together. In each concert, there will be premieres of a new composition, written especially for the night.
This series is also a symbolic way to explore new (and dust off old) collaborations, friendships, give a new life to unfinished sketches and lost compositions, and definitely try to get back on stage with a renovated and healthy performance routine.
