Listening to the music you put out and chatting of it is really cool ... if you allow me the expression.

If you figure it out, let me know.

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.

I don't know. I've never heard a Belgian festival a hundred years ago so I can't tell you what I mean.

Here, from the magic hat of Javed, from the hints/hunches of vivaldirules, in person, the great
Django himself, European, Belgian, Gipsy, there is even a
Guinguette. (btw W. Allen made a film around this song)
For those who do not know the guitariste manuche a bonus track
