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.
