If we have any ideas at all about the nature of musette, it is generally the nation of a delicate, but dusty collection of waltzes that has all but disappeared out side the soundtracks of moody, fl and white art films-this couldn't be farther from the truth.
Stated most simply, the Musette is a descendant of folkdance melodies from the Auvergne, blended with German influence (the accordion), Italian classical and popular song, Tzigane or Manouche (Gypsy) scales and string instruments, and American Jazz and swing rhythms.
Through musette and jazz were not originally thought to be an appropriate mix by dancers and club-owners, it turned out that many of the finest players in Paris were gigging one night in a swing ensemble, and the next night playing for a bal-musette.

Musette, as the CD’s liner notes tell us, came not from Argentina but from the Auvergne, a still mostly rural region in the geographic center of France that in the 1850s retained its Occitan language and civilization.
As Occitan is much closer to Catalan than to French, it’s not surprising that musette, as modernized and restored here, owes a lot to the Gypsy music of Andalusia, to Arabic and Neapolitan melodies and rhythms, and to the instruments (accordion, bass, and guitar) on which these musics are made.
If you’ve missed the complex melancholy of Astor Piazzolla lately, or you like the muscular flamenco pop of the Gipsy Kings but tune the Kings’ Eurofusion out, then the work of accordionist Armand Lassagne, guitarist Didier Duprat, and their friends (including vocalist A. Minvielle) deserves your attention.

 Les Primitifs du Futur: World Musette - PopMatters Music Review
The old bal musette music of France is known nowadays for its accordions but the name itself suggests a different instrument—musette are small bagpipes.
In the bal musette‘s home region of Auvergne, these pipes were of a specific local kind, made from the stomachs of goats and nicknamed cabrette or “little goat”.
Those two tunes are fine enough on their own, but bal musette is so good, so grabby, so devil-may-care, and so criminally overlooked, that the blues dilutions that come later in the album seem beside the point.
