Vincent Peirani and Émile Parisien: Abrazo Tickets

Abrazo (“embrace”), the new duo album from renowned French musicians Émile Parisien (soprano sax) and Vincent Peirani (accordion), is rooted in the tango; its elegance, melancholy, rhythms and nostalgia. Before recording Abrazo, Parisien and Peirani performed over 600 shows worldwide. “It's like a marriage,” says Vincent, of Émile, “with ups and downs, but what could be more normal? Right now, we really want to play together.”

The album reimagines the music of South American masters Astor Piazzolla, Tomás Gubitsch and Xavier Cugat, alongside two of their favorite artists, Kate Bush (“Army Dreamers”) and Jelly Roll Morton (“The Crave”). Abrazo is the follow up to the duo’s 2014 debut, Belle Époque (ACT Music), a tribute to the soprano saxophonist Sidney Bechet.
