Suonato coi piedi! - Andrea Capezzuoli e Compagnia - 14.99
Virtually unknown in Italy, the traditional music of Quebec is a kind of mélange of Scot-Irish music with French songs. Alongside the fiddle, mandolin, guitar and piano, its typical instruments are the melodeon, the oldest kind of accordion, which is still found in Quebec and Louisiana, and... the musicians' feet, which make for a powerful rhythmic background in wild dances. Andrea Capezzuoli, who has always been very fond of this music, has collected a handful of classics of this genre and made a fizzy but at the same time accurate CD despite what its title would suggest (an old Italian refrain says that you do bad if you do using your feet).

Paroles de Swing - Angelo Debarre and Ludovic Beier - 9.99
Born in Saint-Denis, France, Angelo Debarre was only 8 when he picked up the guitar. In the Gypsy community, musical practice is transmitted orally at family gatherings, where music always occupies a prominent place. The gypsy jazz tradition launched by Django Reinhardt is at the heart of this culture and Debarre quickly became one of its key proponents. He founded his first group, "The Angelo Debarre Quintet," in 1984 and began touring the world with Gypsy musicians the following year. This is music he knows inside and out, and at concerts and festivals his enthusiasm and passion prove it. For Debarre, Django Reinhardt's music never loses the dynamism and richness of the past: it is immortal, a living art form. Here is his fifth collaboration with fellow-musician, accordionist Ludovic Beier. Hot on the heels of their previous release Entre ciel et terre, here they are joined by guest singer Sansévérino, making a cameo on 2 of the tracks.
