The Organetto is a diatonic button style accordion and its origin dates
back to the 1700's. For decades, it has provided vivacious and high spirited
moments for people of the European country side as an instrument used for
dance and celebration.
Lucio was born and raised in Canada and began to play the Organetto at the
age of six, inspired by his father who also plays. Lucio has appeared at
the TV and Radio shows in Canada.
You would be excused if you thought that Lucio was playing a standard type
of accordion because he plays with such skill it is difficult to believe
that he is playing a diatonic instrument. If you are after a very lively
Italian style music for dance: tarantella's, polkas and waltzes then this
CD would be an IDEAL buy.
