About

The bandoneon was remarkably popular as part of Argentinian culture during the 20th century and was brought into the Western mainstream through Astor Piazzolla’s ‘nuevo tango’. It was invented in Germany in around 1850, and for a while became a familiar part of musical life there. André Parfenov’s dramatic and evocative Bandoneon-Story delves into the instrument’s rich history turning it into a surprisingly varied audio journey, exploring its humble origins, expressive poetic palette and artful dance syncopations to create a cinematic historical panorama.
