Her story

Heir to a musical legacy

◆

Carine Dalibon Aknin is the daughter of Geo Daly, pioneer of the vibraphone in Europe. Author-composer, performer and SACEM member, she perpetuates the memory of her father through this official site dedicated to him.

An intimate bond with music

Growing up surrounded by the greatest names in French jazz — Lionel Hampton, Dany Doriz, Michel de Villers, Georges Brassens — Carine inherited from her father a deep love for melody, harmony and the art of performance.

Author-composer and performer

Member of the SACEM, Carine has devoted her own artistic career to French song, with a style that blends modernity and respect for tradition — faithful to the values her father transmitted to her.

Guardian of the heritage

Beyond her personal artistic journey, Carine tirelessly works to preserve and share Geo Daly's musical heritage: more than 150 recordings, unpublished archives, press articles and audiovisual footage are gathered on this site so that the public can rediscover the unique voice of the European vibraphone master.

This page will be enriched over time with photos, memories, testimonies and her own creations.
