ACCORDION EULOGIES A Memoir of Music, Migration, and Mexico

Asa Siegel narrates this memoir of discovering both the personal and international impact of the accordion. Growing up, Noe Alvarez knew little about his grandfather except that he played the accordion and was the family pariah. As an adult, Noe explored the impact of accordion music on various cultures and then journeyed to Mexico, where the story of his grandfather revealed more about music and the devastating realities of border migration. Siegel's narration captures the lyrical prose of this memoir, skillfully blending both the English and Spanish language. Siegel's performance captures the thoughtful nature of this audiobook and the author's reconciliation with his family's history. V.B. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
