Fox-musette

[wirralaccordion]

I came across a music genre that I haven't seen before and I happen to like it.

There are several performances of Cartoni Animati on Youtube but this guy makes it look effortless!

What do you think and can you explain "fox-musette"?

When searching the web for fox musette, I found foxtrot musette mentioned to describe the style of music. So, it seems that fox[trot] musette is derived from the music that would accompany dancers doing the foxtrot or music played in that style(?)

This style of music was widely heard as backround music on silent comic short videos of the 20's & 30's.
It was lively & refreshing and still is.

The band pays tribute to musette, mixing it up with as many dance styles as possible, leading to unholy dancefloor experiments ("Fox musette," "La java viennoise," "La valse chinoise") that call to mind a Parisian fantasy in which '40s-style gangsters hang out with gypsy bad boys.

If I'm right, this belongs to a genre that was called "accordion novelty ".
There were many instances of it down the decades, this being another example.

Still another example:

OK, just one more

You can easily dance the foxtrot or quickstep to all of these!
