- Musical entertainment with Mandoaccord
This duo is the fruit of a musical dialogue between two musicians from different but complementary worlds. One comes from the swing musette and jazz Jean-Robert Chappelet, (accordionist), the other from Bluegrass, François Louwagie (Mandolinist singer). They brilliantly interpret compositions and works from the repertoire of musicians who have made their respective instruments famous. MandoAccord sails through different musical styles, (Swing Musette, guigette, tango, classical, Cajun, Jazz, Tsigane, Celtic).7
