Pianist, composer, and improviser, Gael Rakotondrabe shapes a hybrid musical universe where experimentation meets an intimate and sensitive quest. Winner of the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2008, he quickly moved away from classical frameworks to develop a unique sonic language. A regular collaborator with artists such as CocoRosie, Anohni, Robert Wilson, and Marina Abramović, he pursues a bold and pluralistic musical approach. His album Shadow was released in January 2024 on Caramba Records/Virgin Universal.
