about
Filippo Gambetta (born in 1981) is an italian melodeon player and composer; the music that he presents is innovative contemporary folk music with lots of different influences. Hailing from Genoa, in northern Italy, Filippo began playing the accordion at the age of fourteen; his music is steeped in northern Italian folk idioms, but also taps Nordic, Celtic, Balkan and other global inspirations. His main band at present is a trio with acoustic guitarist Claudio de Angeli and double bassist Riccardo Barbera. He recorded three albums for the italian label Felmay: Stria (2000), Pria Goaea (2002), Andirivieni (2009). As well as the core trio, both Pria Goaea and Andirivieni feature guest musicians: Michel Balatti, Oliver Schroer, Mario Arcari, Piero Ponzo, Sandra Wong, Fabio Vernizzi, Beppe Gambetta and Alessio Pisani to name a few. In duo, trio and quartet, playing his own music, Filippo Gambetta has performed at many international festivals and events; for three years he toured Canada with his trio.
