Where do piano accordions fit into musical genres?
I have a music assignment due tomorrow, and two questions about the piano accordion are:
What genre is this instrument used in?
Where does it fit into its genre?
I’m not sure about the answers, especially for the last question.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
The accordion is a hand held bellows driven aerophone. The following is an extract from Wikipedia regarding the genres of music performed on the accordion.
In Colombia, the instrument was first introduced by European immigrants and merchants mainly of German origin through the Antilles Islands in the early 20th century, where local troubadours from the Caribbean Region used it as an instrument to accompany their sung messages. This form of music developed into the musical genre called Vallenato, representative of Colombia.
The accordion is an important instrument in the Dominican Republic because it is an instrument used in merengue, the national dance of this country. The accordion is also used in perico ripiao, a typical merengue.
The instrument was popularized in the United States by Count Guido Deiro who was the first piano accordionist to perform in Vaudeville.
Accordion is the main instrument in the musette style of ballroom music in France (a style now largely out of fashion) and in the 1950s chanson singing, which has a revival in the form of neo-realism.
Mexican Norteño music also relies heavily on the accordion. The instrument was introduced into Northern Mexico by German immigrants during the 19th century. Mexican bands like Ramón Ayala y sus Bravos del Norte, Los Tiranos Del Norte, Los Cachorros De Juan Villarreal, Los Huracanes Del Norte, Los Invasores De Nuevo Leon, and Los Cadetes De Linares have made very successful musical careers out of their lively riffs. Chicken scratch (also known as waila music) is a kind of dance music developed by the Tohono O’odham people. The genre is derived from Mexican Norteño and evolved out of acoustic fiddle bands in southern Arizona, in the Sonoran Desert.
The accordion is an important instrument in Dutch folk music, and often the only melodious instrument when clog dancing. It is also significant in Scandinavian folk music, with notable performers including Finnish accordionist Maria Kalaniemi. Scandinavian-influenced British folk music has, in recent years, also featured accordionists such as Karen Tweed.
The accordion is commonly used as part of dance and ceilidh bands in English, Scottish and Irish traditions.
Accordion was used on the Disney song « Whale of a Tale » from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, as well as Donald Duck’s song, « Quack Quack Quack ». For Christmas purposes, it was used in Nuttin’ for Christmas.
Accordion is also a central instrument in Zydeco, Cajun music, and Polka, heard in Europe and the Americas.

In the English-speaking pop-music world, it is considered exotic if not old-fashioned; however, some popular rock music acts including Beirut, Calexico, Counting Crows, Devotchka, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Gogol Bordello, Jason Webley, Jump, Little Children, Stolen Babies, The Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, The Tiger Lillies, The World/Inferno Friendship Society, They Might Be Giants, « Weird Al » Yankovic and The Hooters incorporate the accordion into their distinctive sounds.
In northeastern Brazil, the accordion, along with the triangle and the zabumba, is the main instrument used in forró, a traditional style usually played by trios. This genre features accordionists such as Sivuca, Dominguinhos and the « King of Baião », Luiz Gonzaga.
It is also widely used by Gypsy and Jewish bands from Eastern Europe. It is central to much of Southeastern/Eastern European and Russian music.
In Italy, the accordion plays an important role in folk music, being many times the leading sound of the tarantella.
While the accordion is a versatile instrument and is widely played throughout the world, it is not universally respected, largely because of an incorrect assumption that it is only used for polka music. A representative jibe is one from Gary Larson, author of The Far Side, who drew a cartoon with the punchline « Welcome to heaven, here’s your harp. / Welcome to hell, here’s your accordion. »
The accordion (Hangeul: 아코디언) is an integral aspect of « Trot » music (Hangeul: 트로트) from North Korea and South Korea. Trot music was extremely popular in the first half of the twentieth century and it is still enjoyed by many older Koreans to this day. The accordion is often the only the instrument present in a song routine. Trot music and the accordion have gained a very widespread revival in recent years in the wake of the popular singer, Jang Yoon Jeong (Hangeul: 장윤정)and her super-hit song « Oemana! » (Hangeul: 어마나!).
