Biography


Frédéric Viale is 42. At the age of eight, he was initiated into the world of music by Mr Lucien Galliano (Richard Galliano’s father). He studied the repertoires of Murena, Viseur, Colombo and Baselli and participated in national and international contests. As a teenager, he discovered jazz thanks to Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. It was at this time that he also fell in love with the bandoneon which he plays in different groups.

      Frédéric's sky, the colour of salsa y sabor, is sometimes tinged with saudade or spleen, but his music always invites to agape and dance.

    • Pascal Anquetil
      Each time he plays and improvises, Frédéric Viale knows how to open up space and fire up time. Under his fingers, the "shiver box" becomes a "jazz box".

    • André Ceccarelli
      It's not easy to switch from world music, from the musette I love, to chanson, to jazz, but the conversion is successful for the talented accordionist Frédéric Viale.
