-- AMR club genevaCela fait plus de dix ans qu’Eliane s’est ins- tallée à New York pour apprendre le jazz. Son cœur vibre pour toutes sortes de rythmes. La musique caribéenne, latine et brésilienne l’ont particulièrement séduite. Sans oublier qu’elle a toujours eu une prédilection pour Prince, Björk, James Brown etc. Le résultat est sans appel: un mélange entraînant de toutes ses influences musicales, aussi rafraîchissant que l’air des Alpes valaisannes où elle a grandi. Eliane, la New Yorkaise d’origine valaisanne, dont l’apparence rappelle va- guement une Brésilienne et qui par ailleurs chante souvent en portugais, incarne le multiculturalisme. Ses histoires retracent avec beaucoup de facétie et une pointe d’ironie ses débuts. Des petits drames intimes, et donc universels.
