LAZULI, a band from the south of France, has been formed in 1998. Somewhere between progressive rock & electro-world, poetry & travel, the remarkable music of lazuli is a clever mixture of differents musicals styles visiting new territories with a rather unusual instrumentation: Warr guitar, Chapman stick, marimba, vibraphone, percussions, guitars, vocals & so on. But also & especially a unique instrument created by Claude Leonetti : the LEODE. For LAZULI's musicians, songs are canvas on which they mix colors to paint their own world. The floatting voice, playing on words, signs us the Human in all of his facets. LAZULI brings atypical notes of originality on French's musical scene. On stage, Lazuli bewitches....
