About
Winner of the Django Reinhardt Prize 2022 from the Academie du Jazz and named Artist of the Year, French-Mauritanian pianist, conductor, and composer Leila Olivesi pays tribute to a poetic and imagined Africa with her album African Rhapsody. Performed by an octet featuring some of the finest musicians of her generation, Olivesi's compositions craft vast musical landscapes, journeying from the light of the Sahara to the urban pulse of New York, weaving connections between Africa, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean.
