The Ibrahim Maalouf Electronic Experience

If we talk about jazz, trumpet and France, we talk about Ibrahim Maalouf. The Franco-Lebanese musician has been selling out venues such as the Accor Arena in Paris, the Lincoln Jazz Center in New York or the Kennedy Center in Washington for years thanks to his cinematic, rhythmic, versatile, unlimited jazz. Spectacular, in a word.

Since Quincy Jones discovered him and the New York Times called him a “virtuoso,” Ibrahim Maalouf has recorded 16 albums, worked with Sting, Salif Keita, Amadou et Mariam, Wynton Marsalis, Lhasa De Sela, Melody Gardot, Vanessa Paradis, Vincent Delerm or Trilok Gurtu, has won awards such as the César for best original music for the film In the Siberian Woods (2017) and has been nominated for a Grammy for best global music album for Queen of Sheba (2022), his work together to Angelique Kidjo.

Jazz, oriental music or rock (in any of its manifestations) go hand in hand with total ease in his music. The lavish Capacity To Love (2022), a message for tolerance, respect and integration between cultures, with the collaborations of Gregory Porter, Posdnuos (De La Soul), Tony Romera and JP Cooper, now gives way to his new album , Trumpets of Michel Ange (2024), in which he mixes oriental sounds, jazz and Latin American music.
