« Lisez-moi »… This difficult to classify first single from singer Gaïa Elsey is a real invitation to travel.
An ode to dreams, to freedom, to the sweetness of living without borders... A captivating track with accents of Tuareg blues in Creole, inspired by a dream of a boat on the Nile surprised by a storm. “Gusts of wind, silted mist…keyboardist Lise Van Dooren and I find refuge and comfort in books”
Music has always been at the heart of Gaïa’s life, originally from Reunion Island.
Her talent has propelled her onto the international scene, where she shines during concerts at prestigious festivals, such as Escale Bantoo in Kinshasa in 2022, Voices of Women in Kenya and Ethiopia in 2023 and at the Jazz en l'Air Festival. - Jazz Renyon, in 2024.
Her compositions delicately explore themes that are dear to her, such as her Creole culture, love, spirituality, nature, self-affirmation and gratitude.
In 2024, Gaïa is preparing to release her first solo album, titled Volcan.
Gaïa's captivating voice effortlessly juggles funk rhythms and inspirations gathered from around the world, revealing her deep connection with the diversity and richness of our planet.
“This first album of great variety will reflect my love for my island, my philosophy, my Creole identity, open to the world, with the experience baggage accumulated during my travels...”
