Founded by Andrea Capezzuoli, melodeon player, composer and arranger active on Milan music scene for over fifteen years (din delon, musicanta, la magiostra, picotage, terantiqua), in cooperation with the sax by Luca Rampinini, the guitar by Mattia Ghion and the fiddle by Marco Ghezzo. It is a polyhedrical project that ranges from the European folk dances to the music of Quebec, the French-speaking Canada (a kind of mélange between the Irish and Celtic folk and the French song of Breton-Vendéean origin).

 

The result is an explosive cocktail, frisky, convivial: accordions, fiddle, sax, piano, guitar and vocals accompanied by driving foot tapping, the typical percussion that gives a unique touch to this sound.

 

On the occasion of dance courses and dance concerts the band is also supported by two "callers", Ivano Capelli and Nicola Brighenti, as  masters of ceremony, indicating the dance figures.

 

This band line-up has already played in Italy, Germany Belgium and France receiving unanimous approval both from critics and audience (Leipzig, Rudolstadt, Bruxelles, Le Mans, Lyon, Mulhouse, Lavelfolk, Isolafolk, Appennino folkfest, Zingaria, Capodanze, Medtrad).
