My name is Omar Caccia, bandoneón player. My work focuses on the musical, cultural, and technical aspects of the bandoneón, exploring its role in tango and beyond through analysis, historical investigation, and performance.
From a background in science and digital culture, my work explores the bandoneon as a complex and versatile musical instrument. Through arrangements, transcriptions, and analytical practice, I engage with repertoires ranging from classical and symphonic music to tango and popular traditions.
The bandoneon and its mistery explained literally from A to Z.
Study material designed for beginners and intermediate.
Are you thinking about taking bandoneon lessons, perhaps online? Let's talk.
The Bandoneón Transcription Project is an ongoing initiative dedicated to the transcription and arrangement of music for bandoneón, spanning a wide repertoire from classical to contemporary music, from opera to tango. The collection is constantly expanding and includes scores by composers such as Bach, Duruflé, Scarlatti, and many others. All scores are freely available to download, while those who wish can support the project and my work through Patreon or a voluntary donation.
This book was born from a dream.
It's about bandoneón, but in a very unconventional form.
This text is an attempt to shape that book from the world of ideas.
I think that this book can also be useful for those who play an instrument other than bandoneón. In fact, it is by no means a method for learning the bandoneón. And it doesn’t really have much to do with Zen either, I think.
But calling it "Bandoneón Zen" was the most immediate thing.
