Another dazzling performance from this duet, who really deserve better recognition. Proves you dont need a 5 row and a million bass buttons to take centre stage.

The Cavagnolo and Guerrini sounds complement each other very well when each player takes their turn at playing lead.

The title translates as Viper, and I appreciate the clip is a tad on the long side.

The chromatic accordion is not really used much in the Basque area, but these two more than make up for that fact.

The only famous accordionist I can think of from the Basque area is Louis Camblor from Bayonne. I believe he may still be alive, and I only discovered who he was when I found a CD he made and realised the entire content was comprised of Spanish tunes with Spanish titles. A friend of mine explained the situation, and as far as I know he has composed various titles in Basque, French, and Spanish.

I then realised why a French musette style player came to be playing mainly Spanish tunes, and discovered a whole new concept, including virtuosi Basque players on CBAs.

 
Their technique is outstanding, and love those chord changes :tup:
 
Wonderful playing and really great tunes . Thanks for posting.
