The bandoneon is a wind musical instrument with a keyboard, considered as a free reed instrument. Coming from Germany, it is first destined to play folkloric songs in central Europe. It is only at the end of the 19th century that the bandoneon reaches Argentina. The instrument then becomes the emblem of tango.
Michael Zisman is one of the most talented bandoneonist today. He inherited the spirit of Argentinian tango but can also adapt and explore the language of jazz music like no-one else to this day. At 30 he already has a surprising carrier behind him, comprising of projects and recordings with great artists such as : Paquito D'Rivera, Billy Cobham, Al di Meola, Bert Joris, Dado Moroni, Franco Ambrosetti, Antonio Farao, Mark Soskin, Adrian Iaies, Gustavo Bergalli, Heiri Känzig, Matthieu Michel, Daniel Piazzolla, Pablo Aslan, Giora Feidman and many more, but also with his own musical ensembles.
