Music is part of the life of Marcel Loeffler since a very young age. Initiated by father guitarist, he chooses the accordion as an instrument of predilection.
It knows experience performing at the age of 8 years, along with his brother, battery, and his father. He explains: "It is at this time that I began to listen to the great jazz Gus viewfinder and Art Van Damme accordeonistes." ""I've spent white nights to try copying!" Found on some of these influences on his first solo disc "Vago". Rich music of Marcel Loeffler comes probably this mix, this palette in varied colors and a great sensitivity.

With this new album, the accordionist demonstrates one more time the wild range of his skills, he feels as comfortable on waltzes (Ovation) as on ballads ( Olmo) or on compositions turned to the groove ( Vago); he also pays tribute to Jacques Brel in his review of "La chanson des vieux amants".
