CHRISTIAN MAES

 

Led by Christian Maes, a virtuoso on the diatonic accordion, the quintet takes us on a journey through various European musical traditions, from Bulgaria to Ireland.

 

Polkas, gigues to groove rock, jazz swing. The hurdy-gurdy and accordion duo on which this group is based is most bewitching.
Christian Maes's music has a flavour of faraway places, a taste of melancholy and emotion.

 
 


" A bewitching accordion, an iron rhythm, a fine, subtle guitar and a delightfully rustic-sounding hurdy-gurdy. "
The Madagascar Express
