A Hot Club of France style jazzy piece where the first 30 seconds are in jazzy ballad style, and then the tempo picks up with acoustic riffing on the 8ths. Charming, warm and irresistable. The underscore and the shorter versions omit the ballad opening and go straight to the main part.

Here is a collection of 4 recordings of French folk songs (including 'La vie en rose') performed live by street musicians in France, playing accordeon, violin and tamborine. Although the recordings are done with professional equipment with an absolute minimum of background noise, these are authentic street recordings and as such, they may contain some extremely subtle, low level background sounds. Traditional songs, recorded by Adam Skorupa. [Composer: Adam Skorupa] [Tag this trackUntag this track]
A fusion of the traditional and the new, this is a modern, urban, cutting-edge take on the Tango! Featuring electronic rhythms, pulsating synthesizers, a jazzy chillout guitar, and accordeon. Fun, different, suave and daring! [Composer: Julio Kladniew] [Tag this trackUntag this track]
Uptempo Russian or Yiddish style Polka. Accordeon, bouzouki and voices over nylon guitars, bass and drums. Can be a Jewish celebration, traditional Greek folk music, Russian folk music, Gypsy music or Eastern European folk music. Available is also an 'underscore version' which cuts out the melodic/top instruments, leaving only the background groove.

A great eastern European track featuring bozouki and accordeon. The title is "Romania", but this track might as well belong in other parts of eastern Europe. Slavish, influenced with some of serbian, or balkanian elements. [Composer: Gayle Ellett] [Tag this trackUntag this track]
Greek folk dance type tune, similar to 'Zorba' etc. Steadily increasing tempo throughout. Accordeon and bouzouki over nylon guitars, bass and drums. Can also be a Yiddish, Gypsy or Eastern European folk track. Bright, happy, authentic folky.

Full of ‘Joie de vivre’ this accordion and mandolin led piece is a bright, filmic, retro sounding waltzer conjuring up visions of traditional European city streets, mountains, lakes, fairgrounds, carousels, flowers and festivals. [Composer: Elliot Simons] [Tag this trackUntag this track]
A joyful rendition of this Italian classic! Mandolin and accordion accompanied by drums and piano. [Composer: Tempero] [Tag this trackUntag this track]
A fun and jolly 'hot club of france' style track with acoustic guitar, accordeon and violin. Playful and whimsical, suitable for comedy, novelty, parody, animation, casual games and more. The accordeon gives the track a French tint, but it's by my means limited to France or French content. It's just suitably quirky, zany and jolly.
