ELIASSE

Les Révélations Series, presented by Atuvu.ca

Like the archipelago from which he hails, Eliasse’s music is volcanic; and, like the archipelago, it is touched by Western and Indo-Oceanic influences. Unbridled guitar, growling bass and fiery drums roll out the percussive rhythms. Infused with blues and folk, and sung in French, English, Malagasy or Swahili, his Zangoma rock unleashes the lively Taarab, Mgodro and Maloya traditions. Singer-songwriter-composer, multi-instrumentalist and 2022 Prix des Musiques d’ICI finalist, Eliasse is all set to present his third and latest album, “Zangoma.”
