In France, the word « musette » when heard brings to mind images of
festivities, of simple happiness, of sequins, of disco balls, of the
banks of the Marne river,of Balajo, of dance floors and mostly of
accordions.
 

Well known the world over, unavoidable reference of the French cultural heritage, musette is a kind of music born in the cosmopolitan Paris, rich of changing and various differences, crossbreeding of Argentine tango, Spanish pasodoble, java, mazurka, salsa and Charleston.

The “années folles” (1919-1929) were prolific for bal musette, “guinche”, and “Bastille” in the thirties, Cuban rumba and “biguine” from the French  West Indies give it color and when swing takes over in the forties, musette music expands with a repertory of waltzes colored by improvisations to become, around 1945, popular music par excellence. 

Musette is a human adventure, nurtured by urban traditions, carried by followers faithful to solid codes, and to strong and subtle acoustics of vibration accordions.
