Competitors may participate from countries where the Festival Sete Sois Sete Luas is established, including Brazil, Cape Verde, Croatia, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, and Tunisia. Entrants will be soloists on the diatonic accordion, for instruments with a minimum of 21 buttons on the keyboard right (2 rows of buttons) and 8 basses in the lower left keyboard. The Sete Sois Sete Luas Festival was founded in 1993 by a group of young Italians active in the theater between Italy and Portugal and the great Portuguese writer José Saramago, who received, in 1998, the Nobel Prize for literature. The PIF of Castelfidardo is honored and proud to be partnering with the Festival SSSL and, to paraphrase the works of Saramago, is proposed as a “flying machine” for those accordionists operating in the traditional music and World Music who want to seize an important cultural and professional opportunities but, above all, an important opportunity to realize their dreams!! |
