Café Accordion Orchestra
Café
Accordion Orchestra (CAO) performs an eclectic mix of vintage Swing,
Latin, American, and French Café Music. Their music evokes the
repertoire of the Bal Musette orchestras, the bands that were
popular in Parisian cafés and bistros in the 1920’s through 1950’s. The
heart of this repertoire is the romantic, gypsy-influenced valse-musette or swing waltz.
CAO complements the musettes with swing, ballads, tangos, paso dobles,
boleros, rumbas, and cumbias to create a wonderfully varied show. While
they inject their music with good humor and expressive abandon, their
high level of musicianship and passion for performance makes them an
entertaining concert act as well as a great dance band.!
