About

"Origines" is Elodie Lauton's second album following on from her much-respected crossover project "Terminal B", which she released in 2012 with the group Goldamour around the pianist/keyboarder Jasper van't Hof. For "Origines", an homage to Damia, Elodie is joined by her Quintette (Stephane Belmondo, Kirk Lightsey, Tibor Elekes and Jorge Rossy).

"Hardly anyone knows Damia today, a famous French singer and actress who is considered the model of later world stars such as Edith Piaf, Barbara or Juliette Greco. In her chansons, Damia almost exclusively sang the life that in her case had tragic elements, which is why she received the nickname "la tragédienne de la chanson" (the tragic figure of the chanson). The singer was idolized between the world wars, but increasingly forgotten after the occupation of France by the Germans. Her music and voice only appeared again decades later in the films of Claude Chabrol, Jean Eustache and Aki Kaurismäki. "Dalmia's story and her repertoire touched me very deeply. She had her own style and was the first "Chanteuse réaliste" in our country,"

"I try to understand from where I come, so I know who I am and where I am going," Elodie Lauton emphasized. "The texts, the words which I interpret, are very important for me. Felix has succeeded in merging jazz with French chansons and a small, traditional wind ensemble, while preserving our musical identity at the same time." Giving Dalmia's melodies new life together with the fascinating Kirk Lightsey was incredible fun for her and the whole band. This becomes more than clear after a few seconds in marvelous songs such as "Le Vent M'a Dit une Chanson" (The wind told me a story), "Je Voudrais Que La Nuit" (I would like this night) or "Celui Qui s'en Va" (Whoever goes).
