Duo Massarelli is Tommaso with his chromatic accordion and Carlo who plays ethnic woodwinds. After several years playing regional music, two cousins from Apulia travel to northern Italy.

They discover very interesting Inew music, genres, instruments and dances. In Turin, Piedmont, with the people of Marmelada d'Oc they learned that culture of occitan and french dances have a lot things in common with southern style music so they start studying classics from Balfolk and also composing new original songs, based on existing dance structures. The instrument they use are: diatonic accordion, clarinet, flute, bagpipes, shawms. 

In 2013, thanks to a good crowdfunding campaign come out their first record: Musique en vogue. From Apulia to Provence lands, the Duo plays traditional tunes from France and Occitan territory, few tunes by other authors and some original pieces: Mazurka, Scottish, Jigs / Circassien Circle, Polka, Rondeau, Vals in 3 and 5 metric, Bourrée, etc.

Fabrizio Filippelli: classic guitar, violin
Simone Lombardo: hurdy gurdy, pipes
