Jorane

Jorane (actually: Johanne Pelletier, born October 12, 1975 in Charlesbourg, Quebec ) is a French-speaking musician from Canada. She found very early access to music: the age of five, she played the piano. The cello playing she started at age 19.

Features for Joranes music are experimental vocals, individual and skilled handling of the cello as well as syntheses of different styles - some folk, jazz, rock or classical. Her lyrics are partly in French or English, but sometimes also sound sequences that assign the human voice the importance of a musical instrument. It is characterized by the ability to accompany her cello playing her own singing.

In 2004, she put on the album The You and The Now before a cover version of the disco hits I Feel Love, which was at that time written by Giorgio Moroder and sung by Donna Summer. In the same year she presented to a Halloween witches cello music.

Jorane wrote the music for the dramatic love story A Sunday in Kigali ( Un dimanche à Kigali ) (2006 ) and won the Prix Jutra for Best Film Music.

On 22 October 2006 she gave birth to a child.
