Since 1999

Biography

The story of Elona Kane, from Saint-Tropez to the Zénith in Paris.

Elona Kane: Lionel and Thierry Fornetti, Karim Addadi and Brice Berrerd

Our story

Two voices, two instruments, one passion

Elona Kane is first and foremost the story of Lionel and Thierry Fornetti: two brothers, two voices that answer and blend with each other naturally. Around them, Karim Addadi on guitar and Brice Berrerd on double bass, for a fully acoustic sound, warm and recognisable from the very first notes.

No need for a stage, sound system or lights: the band is free to move, sing at each table and take impromptu requests in its stride — yet equally happy to perform on stage, plugged in, when required.

On the Riviera and around the world

Over 2,500 shows

Since 1999, Elona Kane has become one of the leading party bands on the French Riviera, with a repertoire of more than 350 songs. The band performs at the legendary Byblos in Saint-Tropez, the Martinez in Cannes and, every winter, at Les Airelles in Courchevel.

Private parties and weddings have also taken the band to Monte Carlo, New York, Mumbai, Istanbul, Geneva and Gstaad. No distance is too far: private clients, businesses, stars and royalty know they can count on the band’s discretion.

Testimonials

What our clients say

Elona Kane is a little more than a band. Two voices, two soul mates, two brothers who share the same values. Lionel and Thierry make you rediscover the most beautiful songs: their duet is so original, surprising and hypnotic that you forget the original.

Frank Tapiro

I liked Elona Kane straight away. Talented musicians, a wide repertoire, colourful voices and a real ability to get the audience involved. Wonderful evenings and many compliments.

Philippe BenacinInterparfums

Incredible stage presence, magnificent vocals of rare power, group cohesion, energy, happiness!

Fabien Fons

I discovered Elona Kane in Courchevel, where they were playing at a palace bar, and was immediately won over. For my son’s Bar Mitzvah, they sang a cappella from table to table, performing the songs each guest had chosen. True professionals, always attentive.

Michèle Bittoun

Incredible acoustic rhythms, a blend of jazz and pop in a lounge atmosphere… and then they set the dance floor alight with a disco, funky vibe! To be experienced again and again.

Pierre Cornet
