The Famous Python's Foot ಒ

Instrumental mix / acoustic lab / folk & originals

Francesco Mattarello, accordion & DADGAD guitar;

Piergiorgio De Faccio, bass;

Gian Andrea Cappuzzo, drum.

After a long-lasting experience among the back lines of the Lake District - their hometown old folk band - the three musicians followed the impulse to renovate their musical harmony and to follow new paths in the folk music field. Since they didn't want to bind themselves with a single musical genre, they decided to draw on different musical strands, thus including, in their repertoire, tunes and melodies from Irish, Bulgarian and Breton traditions.

The musical trio promotes itself as an acoustic instrumental laboratory trying to give the instruments the delicate chance to dialog together. Throughout the performance, they alternate accordion tunes in a 15/8 tempo with arpa-like DADGAD guitar tuning, all backed by gentle acoustic-like rhythmic passages.

Among the played tunes: Loftus Jones, George Brabazon (Turlough O'Carolan), Suites De Loudeac, Costa De Galicia (Foliada de Padrenda), Neckbelly Reels, Gold Ring (jig), The Return From Fingal, An Dro, Bucimis, Talevsko Horo.
