Elora was born in 2004. She is the daughter of Jean-Vincent Fillipini. Another Elora was born in
2005: A band! The band of Jean-Vincent ( bass ), Lionel Giacobbé ( guitar), Sébastien Vigne (
drums ) and Patrice Cannone ( keyboards ). Two voices complete the outfit from Marseille, France:
Anastasia Moussali and Damien Dahan.
Little Elora inspired the creation and the imagination of the band. It’s a progressive rock band with
several influences, ranging from the 70’s like Genesis, Pink Floyd and Magma, to modern acts like
Porcupine Tree, Lazuli or Riverside. An influence is an influence and they are modeling influences
like a parent can do with his child. Their rock is strong and melodic, sometimes deep and full with
melancholy.
In the beginning Elora did a lot of local shows around Marseille to earn some money for an album
release. The result was a 4 track self released EP in 2010 and an invitation to the Prog Sud
festival. In the meantime a new drummer joined Elora – Julien Beaumont.
2013 will be the year to become more public. With the debut under their belt, invitations to five
renowned european Prog festivals are confirmed. Prog Sud and Crescendo in France; Veruno
Prog in Italy; Prog66 Meeting in Belgium and the Progressive Promotion Festival in Germany, the
home of their record label.
The band is French and they sing in French. Something new to PPR, but very exciting and
probably not the last of that kind.
