Musical repertoire

Dayazell offers an unexpected musical journey, freely inspired by ancient and traditional repertoires from around the world. Whether sacred, animist or secular, the songs revisited by the quartet are all vibrant, dreamlike and always powerful.

“Dayazell is like this: as celestial as it is strangely anchored to the ground, summoning deep roots as much as its own milky way. Dayazell is a world, in perpetual movement, which knows no borders. » *

We sail from Scandinavia to Mongolia, via Andalusia, Greece or Armenia. If the sources of inspiration are multiple, the musical universe remains balanced and harmonious.

This plural approach is also expressed in the choice of scenes where Dayazell performs: historical, traditional, neo folk, pagan folk, medieval fantasy, world music, sacred music etc.

“From the church concert to the one in their berber tent, up to the monumental stage of the Olympia, the four artists succeed in the challenge of losing nothing of their identity and the deep sincerity with which they play. Regardless of the format, Dayazell continues to create and perform embodied music, combining everyone's talents in a vast ensemble where the energy never stops circulating..." *

THE SPOT/ OLYMPIA 2019
“From the church concert to the one in their berber tent, up to the monumental stage of the Olympia, the four artists succeed in the challenge of losing nothing of their identity and the deep sincerity with which they play. In front of ten, fifty, or three thousand people in a sold-out concert, the generosity with which they share their music with attentive ears remains the same. Regardless of the format, Dayazell continues to create and perform embodied music, combining the talents of each person in a vast ensemble where the energy never stops circulating...”

CULTURACAEN / BAYEUX 2016
“Their music is a crossing of roads, influences, perfumes, and images from the four corners of the world. […] With Dayazell, worlds intersect and intertwine, in an obvious and natural dialogue. […] Live, their music is mystical, and beneath an air of gentleness, it nonetheless remains impactful and vibrant. In each piece, the quartet diffuses this rare extra soul, which makes their words so true and sincere. We listen to them, with closed eyes, ready to follow them, in their thousand lands..."

THE BIG RADIO / TRABENDO 2016
“Entering Trabendo, you almost believe that the concert has not yet started. “The atmosphere is super calm. Almost religious,” the words of the neighbor on the left are spot on. The Dayazell musicians are, however, already playing in front of a trance-filled audience. No one moves, just a few head movements to indicate approval of the mixed music of the Toulouse quartet. »
