Mario Canonge, Arnaud Dolmen, Michel Alibo, Godwin Louis - Caldeira (Instrumental) (2026) [Hi-Res]

Caldeira expresses an urgent need to give voice to this fire that drives me and fuels my music… This new opus is part of Mario Canonge’s rich journey. From his beginnings with Ultramarine in the 1970s to his collaborations with Dee Dee Bridgewater or Roy Hargrove, he has continuously built bridges between biguine, mazurka, zouk, and jazz. With CALDEIRA, this quest for identity takes on an almost ritual dimension, fueled by constant artistic demand and a rare complicity with his musicians.

Mario Canonge is undoubtedly one of today's greatest French jazz pianists, as evidenced by a career studded with prestigious encounters.

Born in Martinique, Mario Canonge is a musician whose particularity lies in his whirlwind ability to adapt from one style to another. A virtuoso performer as well as an outstanding songwriter, he stands out for the richness of his playing and the originality of his discography.
