Review:
‘An epic and ambitious collection of the kind of tunes you’re likely to hear while glugging vin ordinaire at the very best Parisian caffs. Accordion fans, tent your trousers…’ - Musik
Description:
The Rough Guide To Paris Café Music conjures up the romantic image of accordion music floating through wisps of smoke from a Gitane, the voice of Edith Piaf and a moonlit Eiffel Tower. This style of music is known as bal-musette and grew from the music of the immigrant communities in Paris at the turn of the last century. This unique and comprehensive collection traces the music from its lowly roots in the café-charbons to its modern incarnations in modern jazz and rock-musette with tracks from its seminal artists.
