ALBUMS

Esperanto

Although from a classical influence, Ezperanto is a rhythmic and modern album, sometimes romantic, sometimes dancing. Marimuz adds comprehensive orchestrations now and then… This album also benefitted from the presence of Raôul Duguay as the voice. He played the flugelhorn as well during certain pieces. The Ezperanto cover was inspired by a painting done by one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Jean Côté, also a friend of Marimuz and close friend of the great Riopelle.

Ezperanto 1 was nominated by l’ADISQ (Association québécoise de l’industrie du disque, du spectacle et de la video) as “Instrumental album of the year in 2008”. The mission of l’ADISQ is to honour the artists, artisans and professionals of the music industry.

Ezperanto 1 was Renaud-Bray’s favourite album in 2008, and remained a best seller at Archambault Musique during the same year.
