DANIELE DI BONAVENTURA is doubtless the best Italian player of Bandoneon and thanks to his dexterity and sensibility as performer has been able to go beyond the mere presentation of the classical compositions of the tango tradition to approach jazz and folk music.

Bandoneon & Bandoneon is a journey that starts from the origins of this instruments to arrive till our days. Beginning with the presentation of less known compositions of Argentinean Maestros Astor Piazzolla (Jeanne y Paul, El penultimo, El viaje) and Troilo (Maria) to move towards more ethnic territories of tango-candombe, to arrive to new compositions by DI BONAVENTURA. These tracks are the strongest moments of the recording, with compositions as Canto al sole, Kyrie, Preghiera a mio padre DI BONAVENTURA shows not only his deep knowledge of the tradition but also his ability to mix it with personal verve giving birth to very original style.
The presence of piano and voice (Catia Violoni) in same tracks of Bandoneon & Bandoneon amplifies the variety of emotions and colors of the recording.
