Pifarély was born in Bègles. In 1979, he began touring with bassist Didier Levallet and guitarist Gérard Marais as a trio. In the 1980s he began leading his own bands, as can be heard on the recording Insula Dulcamara (1988) and Oblique (1992).
In 1985, Pifarély started to work with reedist Louis Sclavis and in 1992, they formed the Sclavis/Pifarély Acoustic Quartet, featuring guitarist Marc Ducret and double bassist Bruno Chevillon, and recorded for ECM. In the late 1990s, he started a duo work with pianist François Couturier, and they recorded an album (Poros, ECM, 1997).
Impromptu is a collaboration with François Couturier, Dominique Visse, and a work on contemporary poetry. He also initiated text/music experiences with French writer François Bon and actors Violaine Schwartz and Pierre Baux. The Dédales ensemble is an acoustic nine piece band. In 2007 he founded a trio with keyboard player Julien Padovani and drummer Eric Groleau.
He performs in Europe and has toured in the U.S., Canada, Japan, India, Middle East, Latin America, and Africa.[1]
