The wild body language of a rock musician with the grace of a primaballerina in slowmotion. - De Volkskrant, NL
With ease and humour he moves on stage and through the most different styles – from world to chanson to contemporary music to musical theatre and circus projects. - Akkordoen-Akut Festival, D
His musical expression resembles a rough diamond… Loneliness, the dark and profound abyss, but also desire and charm are recurring elements in all his projects. And during his concerts he seems in league with love just as well as with the devil… - Concerto, A
What did we hear? Jazz, folk, contemporary music, world music? Or just simply good music in the best sense of the word? - Mitteldeutsche Zeitung, D
They take you on a walk between laughter and emotion, between the imaginary and the imaginable, between the rhythms of hell and the sounds of paradise, between electric and acoustic, but always between you and themselves.
Etienne Bours
- RTBF, Brussels
Numerous talented accordionists have played us exceptional music.
Many have taught to love the instrument in all its various forms. There is no lack of names to illustrate each style, region, or type of music. But if there was one figure missing, unclassifiable, defying all categories, here he was in the person of Didier Laloy. But he doesn’t play accordion. He plays Laloy. Etienne Bours

Bio
Diatonic recycling wizard from Belgium
Didier Laloy was 13 when he first touched a diatonic accordion, since that time he has grown into a master of the instrument and composer and is considered as one of the most active representatives of the diatonic accordion revival in Europe. His easy and humorous onstage manner, his ability to tackle almost any musical genre from world to chanson, from contemporary music to projects for children, the subtlety of his playing and his never ending energy and enthusiasm have made him a highly sought after and appreciated musician in the contemporary Belgian musical scene: Tref, Ialma, Source, Les Dmnageurs, Milann&Laloy are his regular projects. He is also a member of the transeuropean accordion collective The Samurai.
After years of such diverse collaborations and exchanges Didier Laloy stops a moment to share with us, through his compositions, some of the many emotions accumulated over the years of his rich musical life. S-Tres is a very human encounter where one thing leads to another and produces rough, spontaneous music without finery, full of tension between silence and explosion, a music tasting freedom. Open your ears to this bunch of nettles, dandelions and provocative wild flowers!
Didier Laloy who speaks of himself as a musical "recycling machine" was among the revelations of last year's CINARS trade fair in Montreal/Canada. At this moment he is preparing tours to Mexico and China, and also in Europe his popularity is steadily rising among audience, promoters and press.
