Founded by Andrea Capezzuoli, melodeon player, composer and arranger active on Milan music scene since over fifteen years , in cooperation with the sax by Luca Rampinini, the guitar by Mattia Ghion and the fiddle by Marco Ghezzo. It is a folk musik project fusing the traditional italian sound with atmospheres evoking far places and jazz improvisation. 

The result is an explosive cocktail, frisky, convivial, exploring new worlds though remaining anchored to its own north-italian roots: accordions, fiddle, sax, piano, guitar and vocals, accompanied by driving foot tapping, a percussion that gives a unique touch to the band sound.

The concert frizzy rhythm and increasing emotion capture and involve both the playful dancers and the attentive ear of music lovers. The four musicians notes give rein to stories, tales, legends and myths so familiar as universal. A journey full of energy and complicity characterized by joyful atmosphere and good music pleasure.

 

A dive in the italian folk musik, thanks to the four musicians experience and talent and to the warm and hilarious energy that moves and inspires them since many years now.

Since 2006, in fact, Andrea Capezzuoli e Compagnia has trodden the boards of italian and foreign festivals (Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland), receiving unanimous approval both from critics and audience. The band has also recorded two CDs “Suonato coi piedi” (2007) and “Tutto per Amore” (2009) (both recommended by the french magazine TRADMAG).

 

On the occasion of dance workshops and dance concerts the band is also supported by two "callers", Ivano Capelli and Nicola Brighenti, as masters of ceremony, indicating the dance figures.
