Jean-Paul Daroux project Présents the Album 'La cité engloutie'

The Jean-Paul Daroux Project invites you to explore "La cité engloutie" the fifth album by the pianist and composer from the Var region. If you have the soul of a traveler, embark with us on new adventures by listening to "Le dernier chant venu de l’Atlantide" and discovering "Le récif des sirènes" Music that undulates, rolls, and surges from genre to genre without leaving you indifferent. A barrier-free marine and underwater atmosphere, free from all limits, transports you to the confluence of lost civilizations. We chart our course « Dans l’oeil du sextant » riding the coattails of previous albums "La légende des 7 sages" and "Change or No Change".

Still the unique sound and characteristic imprint, with hypnotic double bass loops and a bow that opens the way to polyphony. A refined piano, tinged with romanticism and modernity, always supported and regulated by a perfectly tuned and eloquent drum kit. A trio that never lacks ideas, lyricism, and originality. The sea, an eternal muse, has become an inexhaustible source of inspiration and a platform for expression for these three musicians, accomplices and friends.

See you for unforgettable concerts.

LA CITE ENGLOUTIE - We will not reveal its exact location. This myth from the depths of time remains a well-kept secret. Since Plato, Atlantis has continued to awaken our imagination.

LE DERNIER CHANT VENU DE L’ATLANTIDE - As the city was about to disappear beneath the waves, its inhabitants gathered in the immense temple. There, they improvised a final song filled with hope.

LE RECIF DESERVES SIRENES - The Cabo de Gata National Park in Andalusia is a place steeped in mystery. It is rumored that the song of the sirens bewitched sailors, driving their ships against the captivating reef.

EMBARQUEMENT POUR L’ILLUSION - We leave a dock with our heads full of ideas and dreams. We set sail to dock and set down our bags on an unknown land. Destiny, master of the leagues, silently awaits us along the way.

DANS L’OEIL DU SEXTANT - Let's take advantage of these simple and sincere moments to forget about GPS. Let's take out our old sextant, hidden at the bottom of a trunk. Let's take stock of our lives with our eyes fixed on the sun.

VENTS CONTRAIRES - We must know how to face them to stay on course. The sky suddenly darkens and the elements rage. It's time to maneuver by tacking and swerving to our final destination.

MISTRAL SUR LE LEVANT - The island abandons itself to the caress of the sun. To the east, the Titan lighthouse watches like a motionless sentinel. To the west, Maupertuis Point juts out into the sea. The mistral, playful and impetuous, likes to play with this piece of land, sweeping it with its powerful breath.

RUE CARPEAUX - It all begins somewhere in Martinique in the Caribbean Sea. The story ends at the foot of Montmartre Hill, on Rue Carpeaux. Legend has it that one can hear his piano playing on certain winter evenings.
