Duo LéNo

A fascinating, no-holds-barred, uncompromising piano-and-drums duo with vocals. A truly “complete” album: crank it up to full volume and listen to the sounds bursting forth—the haunting strings, the snare drums and cymbals that shimmer, ping, clatter, and crackle.

One might have thought that, with just two musicians, something would be missing. But nothing is. Carried along by rhythm and dance, spellbound by the piano’s ostinatos, its cascades and leaps into the void, the mind lets go.

A world where two musicians sound like five or ten, and where history, convictions, imagination, and dreams burst forth from every interstice.

Making the most of his Jazzette, the smallest type of drum kit, Dolmen transcends tradition, expands his range of expression tenfold, and displays a wild inventiveness, giving new depth to every line Montana plays.

Drawing their strength from the richness of Creole culture—that constellation of islands stretching to the shores of Louisiana and Brazil—Arnaud Dolmen and Leonardo Montana follow the great path blazed by their forebears, creating music that is at once spellbinding, modern, and timeless.

Two voices, speaking as one. LéNo.
