This is probably the first time video streaming has ever been advertised and done for an accordion competition anywhere in the world and certainly the first time in the Southern Hemisphere. There were technical problems at first but by the afternoon it was working well but needed more bandwidth to be clearer for viewers. That was implemented lated in the day, so watch online at www.acordeon.com.br
