The Tohono O'odham fiddle music is European dance music seen through the lens and sensibilities of the Native American players. Paul Rangell, accompanied by Emily Abbink on guitar, will be teaching a sampling of these rhythms including a polka, chotis, mazurka, cuadrilla and a two-step. Paul and Emily learned the tunes from local Tohono O'odham musicians, (a group of these musicians became known as the "Gu-Achi Fiddlers")
Guitar players: Chords for all the tunes will be provided for each tune so you can play along.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about and play this wonderful, yet often overlooked, music.
