Hi!
I'm Omar Caccia

I am a bandoneon player and teacher.

I discovered the bandoneon through Piazzolla’s music and the soundtracks of two Italian films. But I won’t share the full story now (you can explore it here if you’d like).

I want to talk to you about the increasing interest in the bandoneon in recent years:

  • An increasing number of composers and arrangers are interested into its unique sound possibilities.
  • On the other hand, the desire to learn how to play this instrument is growing fast.
 

It is essential to approach the bandoneon with guidance. This is why, as a session bandoneonist, I assist composers in getting acquainted with the instrument and incorporating it into their works.

Additionally, as a teacher, I provide guidance to those who aspire to play this instrument but may not know where to begin.

Omar Caccia, bandoneon player based in Italy and with background in Buenos Aires, session bandoneon player, bandoneon teacher and session bandoneon player for composers.
