 Léon Gambetta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the defeats of the French near Orléans early in December the seat of government had to be transferred to Bordeaux, and when Paris surrendered at the end of January, Gambetta, though resisting and protesting, was compelled to submit to the capitulation concluded with Otto von Bismarck.
Gambetta rendered France three inestimable services: by preserving her self-respect through the gallantry of the resistance he organized during the German War, by his tact in persuading extreme partisans to accept a moderate Republic, and by his energy in overcoming the usurpation attempted by the advisers of Marshal MacMahon.

 Filippo Gambetta - Pria Goaea
The album is at once a reconfirmation of the young Genoese melodeon player's amazing talent and a further demonstration of his capacity for invention enabling him to go much further than simply retread traditional standards from back home.
Most of the tracks on Pria Goaea are in fact penned by GAMBETTA himself, pieces that freely range across the most disparate styles from ethnic to contemporary classical, making excellent use of the material to hand, partly thanks to the finely measured intensity of the numerous guest musicians who contributed to the album.
On an instrument as unyielding as the diatonic melodeon GAMBETTA'S virtuosity is astounding for the way he harnesses a plethora of fertile musical ideas to nine tracks rich in original, unpredictable turns while staying firmly anchored to his music making roots.

Gambetta’s compositions are enjoyable, with "Solar Energy" the strongest.

Gambetta was a student of Tuscan melodeon master Riccardo Tesi, from where he has gotten not only valuable training as a technician, but also a rich and diverse sense of musical geography.
Like Tesi, he sees the beauty of his roots (in Gambetta's case, the soil of Liguria), but he also hears the world in his music, and applies lessons from the Balkans, much of the Mediterranean and of course, the modern sensibilities of jazz, classica and pop music.
He has just released his first recording as leader of the group Stria (Dunya-Italy), a challenging young group of musicians who are going to be at the forefront of the next millenium's new roots movement in Italy.
