Frédéric Paris is a masterful French folk musician and composer celebrated for breathing new life into Central France’s traditional music traditions. Hailing from the Berry-Bourbonnais region, this multi-instrumentalist (best known for his nimble diatonic accordion and bagpipe skills) has spent decades reviving rural dance tunes, nursery rhymes, and seasonal melodies through projects like *Trio cornemuse* and albums such as *Belle Pomme D’or*. His work, including releases like *De l’eau et des amandes*, often feels both rooted in history and refreshingly inventive, blending regional authenticity with playful modern arrangements. Whether resurrecting forgotten lullabies on *Rondes, comptines…* or collaborating with fellow trad artists, Paris remains a warm, vital bridge between France’s pastoral musical past and its lively contemporary folk scene.
