Lazuli - Etre Et Ne Plus Etre (2026)

The five-member French band Lazuli embodies progressive rock with world music influences - mystical, lyrical, rocking, enchanting.
Anyone who has experienced Lazuli's fascinating sound network live once will inevitably fall for him. Progressive rock, chanson, folk and world music merge here
to a unique, elusive language - supported by powerful percussion and unusual timbres. No drawer is enough to
to grasp this music. And if you are still looking for comparisons, you may like "King Crimson meets Peter Gabriel" an insufficient but helpful hint
be.

Lazuli also rely on a set of instruments that is as unique as their music. Marimba and vibraphone are one of the exotics on rock stages anyway, but
the real centerpiece is the "Leode" - a specially developed stringed instrument, of which there is only a single copy in the world. Their sound opens a
previously unheard, fascinating cosmos.

The new album is entitled Être et ne plus être ("To be and not to be anymore"). In a typically poetic manner, the band describes its creation as a journey through darkness and light, departure and doubt, chaos and clarity – twelve songs, born from a common search, inspired by life, chance and silence. Lazuli have long outgrown the status of the insider tip. They have earned an excellent reputation in the international prog scene – as a band for open, curious listeners. Anyone who gets involved in their music will be richly rewarded.
