Mario Canonge trio
With Caldeira, Mario Canonge returns to an essential formula: the trio. Accompanied by Michel Alibo on double bass, his long-time companion, and Arnaud Dolmen on drums, a major figure in contemporary French jazz, the Martinican pianist revisits his past and present compositions with renewed intensity.
Carried by incandescent rhythms, Caldeira—a reference to the heart of a volcanic edifice—deploys organic music that is both scholarly and instinctive, nourished by a strong spiritual dimension. The contributions of virtuoso saxophonist Godwin Louis enrich this powerful opus, a true homage to the earth and its sunny peoples.
Mario Canonge & Annick Tangorra (duo)
Mario Canonge, the essential size of Caribbean jazz in France and on the international scene, surrounds himself with his accomplice Annick Tangorra.
Enchantress of Italian origin. Successive and multiple trips to Brazil and the Caribbean nourish and imbue it with these musical colors.
The heart as the swing: in turmoil, she mixes jazz and Caribbean Latinjazz.
