ELÆNA is like a magic potion. Crafted from the members’ individual creativity, Natan Niddam, Yoann Maeder, and Damien Sigrand offer a unique style filled with power and emotion. Echoes of Radiohead meet the freedom of Robert Glasper, blended with the magical escapism of Jordan Rakei.
The trio stands at the crossroads of genres—jazz, groove, and progressive. Their third and fourth EPs form the two sides of their first album, “Birds Whisper.” An eclectic record that reflects their multifaceted musical visions, featuring guests such as Matthieu Michel, NNAVY, Dado Moroni, and Chelsea Reject.
It is on stage that ELÆNA best explores its musical palette, improvising around their compositions—just as they do each year during their residency at the Caveau des Vignerons for the Cully Jazz Festival.
