I found an entire documentary about the 2-row button accordion in folk Chilean music! Particularly in one small geographic location.

Very interesting. Unfortunately, there are no translated subtitles....  :(

There are several musical segments with interesting melodeon tunes that are dying out in Chile.

Stephen D:
It also touches on how the button accordion in the folk music is being replaced by the dreaded piano accordion....  :( :'(

Mike Carney:
Very interesting! Feels just like the Melnet community!
A translation of some parts would be interesting to read.
Thanks
Mike

Falconer:
Thank you for the link. I just gave a 2 row Hohner button accordion to a family from Honduras, and passed this on to them.

MarioP:
Thank you! i always wonder what the chilean's music sound like in Melodeon because i know they boarders with Argentina which happened to be the gateway for accordeons coming to America back in the 40s at least for obvious reasons.
