Gael Rakotondrabe, pianist and composer from Réunion, is distinguished by his eclecticism and virtuosity. He is the only French pianist to have won the Montreux Jazz Festival international solo piano competition, under the honorary presidency of Quincy Jones.
From film music to astonishing artistic encounters, from scholarly orchestrations to urgent improvisations, he multiplies collaborations and connivences. In particular, he was seen alongside artists such as Antony and the Johnsons (Anohni), CocoRosie, David Byrne, Charles Aznavour, Woodkid, Hugh Coltman, Clara Luciani, Ayo. He also composed the film scores presented in Sundance, Tribeca, Venice or Cannes.
Gael Rakotondrabe revealed intense and singular music and unveiled his first album "Shadow".
From a Beatles classic, And I Love Her, to another, Because, he evokes immense legacies (My Funny Valentine, In a Sentimental Mood, I Fall In Love Too Easily...), recalls the sublime song of Hélène by Philippe Sarde, and book Shadow title eponymous title of the album, one of his many compositions.
Eerrated and tightened at the same time, this music unfolds the singular identity of Gael Rakotondrabe, always between two shores and concerned everywhere with emotional clarity.
