The exhilarating drive of Parafone's music is as good as anything coming from Africa. It is a fine example of how one finds inspiration in the rich local cultural heritage of southern Italy to innovate. Calabria is not only a geographical area with a long history of virtuous contaminations, but also the cradle of one of the most ancient and rooted forms of Tarantella.

« Alessandro D'Alessandro tells the story of the diatonic accordion, and explores new territories".
|
|
|
Alessandro D'Alessandro is considered one of the most innovative Italian accordionists ("organetto") for his technique and versatility. He has been able to bring the instrument to a new level, significantly expanding its expressive capabilities and sound, thanks also to a skillful use of electronics.
In this direction comes "Canzoni," his debut solo album released by Squilibri Editore in 2021. It's a project that explores the world of singer-songwriters, with the transposition of some classics into the language of a "prepared" accordion, which, in his hands, seems to take on "the breath of an orchestra."
