How to simulate this instrument? ( Gotan Project )

[CloudsOfSound]

This is a bit off-topic, but does anybody know what instrument they use in Gotan Project's "Vuelvo al Sur", that sounds like an accordion or something?
I want to use this sound in one of my projects.

I have Ableton Suite with all content.

Tnx

Sounds accordian-y to me! Looks very accordion-y too:

Oh, well... Should have searched YouTube myself... :S
Wonder if I have an accordion floating in my library...

Tnx.

But the price is too high for one little instrument...

The instrument is called "bandoneón".

"The bandoneón is a type of accordion particularly popular in Argentina and Uruguay. It plays an essential role in the orquesta tipica, the tango orchestra. The bandoneón, called bandonion by its German inventor, Heinrich Band (1821-1860), was originally intended as an instrument for religious music and the popular music of the day, in contrast to its predecessor, the German concertina (or Konzertina), considered to be a folk instrument by some modern authors.

German sailors and emigrants to Argentina brought the instrument with them in the late nineteenth century, where it was incorporated into the local music. Like concertinas, the bandoneón is played by holding the instrument between both hands and either pushing in or pulling out the instrument while simultaneously pressing one or more buttons with the fingers. It is considered part of the concertina family of instruments rather than the accordion family, although both are free reed instruments. In the concertina family the direction of button movement is parallel with the direction of bellows movement, whereas in the accordion family the direction of button or key movement is perpendicular to the bellows movement."

You can google for some samples.

Good luck

Bloody know-all!

In all seriousness though, thanks for the info! I like a bit of Gotan Project too. (and well used concertina)
