Virtuoso, Daniel Colin is the incarnation of the accordion’s great repertoire. A sensitive, generous musician who is an icon in Japan ever since the release of “Paris Musette” in the early Nineties, Daniel Colin is the greatest contemporary representative of the musette genre. Produced in 2011 by Dominique Cravic for the Japanese label Respect, this album is a rare and precious document in the domain of delicate popular music. Accompanied by such unavoidable artists as Claire Elzière (French Café Music, Chansons d’amour de Paris), Grégory Veux (Têtes de Chien), Dominique Cravic (Primitifs du Futur, Ukulélé Club de Paris) and Laurent Larcher (Primitifs du Futur), Daniel Colin reveals his heart to be like the squeeze-box of his accordion.
