History
Lazuli begun in 1998. In 1999 they released their first album Lazuli, which had difficulties to touch the public and achieved low popularity. They performed concerts occasionally, which earned success with the public.
Their second album, Amnésie, in 2004, helped Lazuli to sign with the Night & Day distribution group.
On July 2 and 3, 2005, Lazuli attended the Montreux Jazz Festival and received an award for "Under the sky".
Key dates
Musical style
Lazuli combine progressive rock with world and electro music. Besides guitar, keyboards and drums the band plays also léode, vibraphone and horn; until 2009 split chapman stick, marimba and warr guitar were used as well.
Claude Leonetti invented and plays the léode, because he cannot use his left arm after a motorcycle accident.
Their lyrics are entirely in French.
