La India Canela
Merengue Tipico (Smithsonian Folkways)
La India Canela is a young woman who
plays accordion at supersonic speed, leaving the fastest hardcore band or bebop
player in the dust. She hails from the Dominican Republic and works within the
tradition called tipico, a style of music born in the 19th century and bred
from the marriage of European accordions with West African and island native
percussion. Tipico shares many similarities to other Latin American music and
will not sound unfamiliar to fans of accordion-powered Mexican polkas.
