Mario Canonge Trio

A great composer and iconic pianist of Martinique, Mario Canonge is recognized worldwide as one of the most illustrious musicians in the history of the Caribbean... Thanks to his touch and his inimitable piano game, anchored in the pure Martiniquaise tradition, he soon became a true legend. From his left hand we can hear beat the drum Bèlè, the heart of Madinina (the Martinique), and from his right hand virtuoso, we can easily detect the vigor and heat of the Pelé mountain in irruption. There are no current Antillean pianists who do not owe anything to Mario, so his influence is great and essential.

Mario Canonge seems to have found his essential spiritual and artistic with his magical trio with leyuric accents. These three elements "AYURVÉDA" MARIO CANONGE, MICHEL ALIBO and ARNAUD DOLMEN, are poetically revealed as: fire earth and air... Around the quest for an absolute imaginary, these three shamans find themselves to celebrate the very essence of the Earth.
