The Argentina Accordion Band (1935)

Titles read: NOW Pathe Pictorial has pleasure in presenting The ARGENTINA ACCORDION BAND (Directed by Pietro Diego) in a special arrangement of In a Monastery Pathe Studio, London. On a set dressed to look like an exotic or Mediterranean garden we see various shots of six men playing accordions playing In A Monastery Garden, accompanied by a man on the piano and one on bells and percussion. A man, presumably Pietro Diego, conducts the band. They all wear Argentinianstyle costume of jackets and trousers with embroidery and sashes. Shots are intercut showing monks and clergymen walking around large grounds or gardens and feeding fish in a pond. Greek orthodox ( ) priests are seen in some shots. Other monks (Tibetan ) walk through cloisters. FILM A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
