A track from Accordion Samurai project.. 
They are: Riccardo Tesi, Markku Lepistö, Bruno Le Tron, Didier Laloy, David Munnelly

AWARD:
Grand Prix International du Disque 2011 de l'Académie Charles Cros - Paris

"Five diatonic accordions, 10 hands, 50 fingers, five countries - an interplay of traditions and personalities, a mixed array of styles, unexpected delights and discoveries. Fifty agile fingers dancing up and down on the keys of these instruments they dote so much upon. 
Samurai, as they call themselves, have built up an ardent following for the wonders they perform on their squeezeboxes. Didier Laloy from Belgium, Bruno Le Tron from France, David Munnelly from Ireland, Riccardo Tesi from Italy and Markku Lepistö from Finland...
Hang on to your hats, and prepare to run out of breath, panting with excitement at the music created by this frenzied fellowship of the bellows, swaying along to this melodious medley conjuring up an imaginary kingdom where the accordion reins supreme. This diabolic instrument, this smoulderingly intense squeezebox, raises its profile here, as if its reputation still needed to be refurbished. Together, these individuals form an orchestra, a brass band, a wind band, a symphony, a polyphony. Rumbling basses, melodies linked together, overlapping, wildly enthusiastic rhythms. This is tantamount to a festival, a party atmosphere, a happy encounter that has been boldly contemplated between these five masters of the accordion. How wonderfully enriching, energizing and vibrant this music is. And what an amazing musical experience in the midst of all this vitality. 
The future of cross-border musical cooperation is in safe hands with ambassadors of this ilk."

The second you hear the ebb and flow of the music that emanates from David Munnelly’s accordion, you will be instantly convinced that this man was born with a button box in his hands. Hailing from Belmullet, a small town by the sea in Co. Mayo, Ireland, David has carried the strong musical tradition from his home and family across the world.

David is known for his colourful style which inhales bold bass fingerings, complex arrangements and modern compositions; and exhales hints of the Roaring 20′s and the energy of a box of dynamite coupled with a masterful knack for letting a tune take its own time for a completely unmistakeable and brilliant sound.

This unique style led David into the world of professional musicianship where early in his career he became a full-time member of Niamh Parsons’ band the Loose Connections. As his reputation grew in Irish trad circles, David quickly found himself recording and touring with some of the greatest Irish bands and musicians of the last century including The Chieftains, De Danann, Gerry O Connor, Arty McGlynn and Sharon Shannon.

After gaining ample experience and knowledge from his exceptional peers, David formed the David Munnelly Band in1999 and began a thirteen year journey with his own band touring Europe, America and Japan and recording four critically acclaimed CD’s.

Recently David has expanded his repertoire to mainland Europe where he is currently working on several new projects. Along with the most respected accordion players in Europe, David currently performs with the Accordion Samurai, who’s debut CD has won numerous high-profile awards. Additionally, David released  " t'is what it is"  a successful duo CD with fiddler Mick Conneely in 2012.
