VR. By old European style, I perhaps sort of understand what you mean. The accordian definitely contributes to this feel (but it is more than that; such as the tempo is quite captivating and has a nice feeling energy to it). Here is another piece by them that I found, thanks to your inspiration. In the clip the musicians can be seen playing live.
