Traditional accordion music (folk, jazz, oriental) from France

French café accordion music

My own arrangements of other folk musicians' accordion melodies. Played on my Roland X4 accordion, which allows me to add other instruments (e.g. clarinet, sax and violin) to the accordion sound.

My Musical Journey as an Accordion player:

I was born in 1965 (birthname Benny Madsen) and found my love for the accordion as a young boy in an accordion ensemble in Esbjerg, Denmark. There, I delved into the world of traditional music, enriching my skills with every chord. As life unfolded, my focus shifted to family and building a business, leading me to set aside my accordion.

However, music has a way of staying with you, and after years of work, I chose to retire early. Now, I’m rediscovering my passion for the accordion and embracing the joy it brings into my life.

My musical tastes lean towards traditional styles - French, Irish, Balkan - to name a few, but I always add a twist to keep things modern. All my new recordings are made on my Roland FR-4x digital V-accordion, an instrument that resonates with my creative spirit.

Living in Copenhagen, I play the accordion for fun, sharing melodies in cafes and restaurants. It’s a pleasure to share my music with you, and I hope it brings as much joy to you as it does to me.
