4- The Swedish troll band Trolska Polska with their third album. The common thread in their working process led to all the music on the album being brought together in one coherent story; a little story from the universe of trolls. The story ends with the song “Euphoria” – also the title of the album. The melody tries to capture the joy that lies in meeting, through play, dance and music.
Cd. Eufori – Trolska Polska.

5- A special combination. Tuur Florizoone on accordion and Didier Laloy on bandoneon. Opposites attract, and that is certainly true for these two Belgian musicians. Flemish and Walloon, Folk and Jazz. And for the specialists: diatonic and chromatic accordion. In addition, one is attributed a great sense of rhythm & melody and the other is known for its exceptional sense of harmony and surprising sounds. Cd. Didier Laloy & Tuur Florizoone.
