Music of a wonderful world

Also great as café music! Introducing famous tunes to savor the charm of musette

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Musette, the popular music born in France.

Played in cafés and dance halls since the late 19th century, this music has soothed the hearts of Parisians and, with the graceful timbre of the accordion, is loved around the world.

Though it began as the music of the working class, it evolved while incorporating elements of waltz and jazz.

We invite you into the world of musette masterpieces, where melodies full of nostalgia and warmth interweave with a nostalgic rhythm, carrying you along with the elegant air of Paris.
