‘14 Years Ago’ – Nico Carstens and the Accordion - South Africaby Rob Howard |
 The Accordions Worldwide news for May 8th 1988 included a brief report about Nico Carstens, a South African accordionist equally well known as a composer. The accordion has a presence in South Africa, aided considerably in recent years by the promotional work of the very active accordionist Sergio Zampolli. ACCORDIONIST NICO CARSTENS - SOUTH AFRICA Contributed by Etienne Ozorak In South Africa, when one thinks accordion, one thinks of jazz artist Nico Carstens. Nico recently recorded with ‘Springbok Nude Girls’ and appears regularly at jazz festivals in South Africa. His CD ‘22 Goue Treffers’ gives a glimpse of his music as recorded through the years. His compositions have been used by Acker Bilk, Bert Kaempfert, The Shadows, James Last, Chet Atkins, Floyd Cramer and Geoff Love. |
