IBRAHIM MAALOUF
+ CHOCOLATE GENIUS INCORPORATED
Born in Beirut, now settled in France, Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf plays a heady mix of jazz, funk and improvisation steeped in classical
and Arabic styles.
In Paris, he has become a noted figure on the electro-jazz scene, bringing his style to modern funk and electronica acts, but his music also has a mystical, contemplative quality that sets him apart from most contemporary players.
Named ‘Discovery of the Year’ at the 2010 French Jazz Music Awards Ibrahim has played with renowned artists such as Amadou and Mariam, Sting, Salif Keita, Toumani Diabate, Matthieu Chédid (aka M) and the legendary Lebanese composer/singer and oud player Marcel Khalifé.
He debuted in 2009 at the Barbican as part of the London Jazz Festival. Now’s your chance to catch this extraordinary artist playing his first ever British headline show. Click here to read more about Ibrahim Maalouf.
‘There is in the music of Ibrahim Maalouf , memories of laughter and tears, traces of war and peace, the presence of nostalgia and euphoria, but still springs the promise of life.’ Mondomix
