Les Zéoles
is a dynamic Parisian duo with the diatonic accordion of Amélie Denarié and
the chromatic accordion of Anne Guinot. They have been playing
together for over 10 years. Their self-penned lyrical, bittersweet
and playful dance tunes are inspired by both traditional and
classical French and European music. Dance is always at the centre of
their work, but with their respective training as classical pianists,
they also play concerts. They have produced two albums full of great
dance music - Des Papillons dans le Ventre (Butterflies in the Belly)
in 2009 and Sur Mesure in 2011.
Traditonal
french dances from the centre of France are mainly couple or long
line dances such as schottische, 2 and 3-time bourree, polka,
chapelloise, rondeau, mazurka, 3, 5, 8 and 11-time waltzes. They also
play a few Swedish Polskas. There are many, many variations but all
fairly easy for dancers to pick up in an evening.
