“Piano Piéni” est un album live-acoustique produit, joué, arrangé et composé par Damien Elisa. Les morceaux présente sont une panorama des titres déja apparus dans les albums précédent de l’artiste jazz, mais aussi reflecte sa vie personelle et sa carrière. Le contemporisme aigu de Damien Elisa, a travers ces paroles qui, sont d’une legerté exceptionel a l’écoute et d’une poids immense a la compréhension; tout accompagner de sa sublime manoeuvre au piano, avec une touche rustique et brut qui engendre le complet du ‘Piano Piéni’.

‘Piano Piéni’ depicte le parcours de l’artiste a travers ses experiences avec la musique en entamment toute premièrement avec les accords, comme sur “Mi Re La”. L’artiste depicte aussi les differentes emotions vécues par celui-ci durant son odyssée musicale et de sa vie.

Ce projet a été possible avec l’aide du Conservatoire de Musique de François Mitterand (Quatre Bornes, MU) et les titres déja apparu sur le parcours de Damien Elisa ont été re-interpréter tout en utilisant seulment un piano et la voix de celui-ci, un travail façonné avec simplicité.

The high-toned contemporary aspect of Damien Elisa, through lyrics giving an exceptional airy mood upon listen and a significant weight upon apprehension; all which are embodied in a subtle piano manoeuver, with a rustic and brut touch, that makes the whole of ‘Piano Piéni’.

‘Piano Piéni’ depicts the journey of the artist through his experiences with music by first walking into the chords, as on ‘Mi Re La’. Damien Elisa also narrates different emotions lived, through the other tracks, during his life and musical odyssey.

This project has been made possible with the collaboration of the Conservatoire de Musique de François Mitterand (Quatre Bornes, MU) and tracks already on Elisa’s discography have been re-interpreted only by using a piano and the vocal of the latter.

Jean Damien Elisa, born on the 5th May of 1976, started to learn the piano instrument at the age of eleven. Having lived in the capital, Port Louis, more precisely at St Croix near the tomb of the dear Père Laval; the young Damien Elisa, meanwhile, polished his skills as a pianist and headed to launch his career.

His musical path developed by playing on synthesizer and on numeric pianos on various different venues such as hotels, bars, festivals and concert halls throughout the Islands of Mauritius, Réunion and in Europe. On his career, numerous musical collaborations by Damen Elisa in a Trio, Quartet and Quintet with several other musicians from various cultures were a frequent factor. His arsenal of genres compromises of the Séga, Seggae, Jazz, Blues and Rock.

Those different experiences have contributed the innovation of Damien Elisa, into composition, arrangement and re-interpretation to bring to life the sounds which reside in him.
