More videos - here's a fine Portuguese player


His name is Francisco Fernandes.
This one is a corridinho.
And Vira do Chico. A Vira is like a very fast waltz where the dancers move in circles. Here's another vira. He plays the piano accordion too. This one's a corridinho. By the way, corridinho is like a race.
He gets off to a shaky start playing the chromatic button accordion, but picks up the pace nicely.

Fascinating stuff, you can see the similarity between this and some Brazilian music.
