Lazuli is a French progressive rock band formed in 1998 by brothers Claude and Dominique Leonetti. Their music uniquely blends progressive rock with world and electronic influences, featuring unconventional instruments like the léode—a custom creation by Claude Leonetti, who designed it after a motorcycle accident left him unable to play traditional guitar. Over the years, Lazuli has released several acclaimed albums, including "4603 battements" (2011), "Tant que l'herbe est grasse" (2014), and "Le Fantastique Envol de Dieter Böhm" (2020). They have graced international stages such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Night of the Prog Festival, earning a dedicated global following. Their latest album, "11," was released in January 2023. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazuli_%28French_band%29?utm_source=openai))
