"Red & Black Light" is an ode to the woman of today and her founding and fundamental role in hoping for a better future. Centred on an aesthetic that's more contemporary, more electro (or even pop), this album is made up of Ibrahim's compositions, plus one song from today's diva Beyonce. Recorded in France in Ivry-sur-Seine with Eric Legnini (keyboards), François Delporte (guitar) and Stephane Galland (drums), this album is above all a desire to represent the importance and necessarily complex nature of things and persons that are essential.
"FIRST NOEL" is a Christmas album including 25 of the greatest classics as well as three exclusive new tracks Ibrahim composed especially for the very first Christmas of his son, and in honor of his grandma Odette's last one, past year. The Christmas memories he has are full of wonderful moments, so he insisted on recording this album staying true to the magic of these instants.
En 2006, Ibrahim Maalouf montait pour la première fois sur scène en solo au New Morning. 10 ans, un millier de concerts et des dizaines de pays traversés plus tard, il fête cette décennie de carrière scénique à travers une tournée comptant pour la première fois une douzaine de Zénith, dont celui de Paris le 03 Décembre, et une date historique à l AccorHôtels Arena le 14 Décembre 2016. Il est également important pour lui de conserver une trace durable de ses meilleurs souvenirs, c'est pourquoi Ibrahim a sélectionné les concerts les plus marquants pour les proposer à son public sous la forme de plusieurs objets.
Ibrahim Maalouf et Oxmo Puccino s’associent pour sortir "Au Pays d'Alice…", un concept-album ambitieux autour du roman de Lewis Carroll.
On December 14, 2016 Ibrahim Maalouf occurs for nearly 4 hours in Paris in a AccorHotels Arena sold out to celebrate his 10 years of touring. Surrounded by its historical group, a classical orchestra, a choir of nearly 100 children as well as a dozen surprise guests (-M-, Amadou & Mariam, Soprano, Tryo, LEJ, Hiba Tawaji,…) He performed songs from his eight studio albums in front of more of 17 000 people.
50 years ago, the great star of Arabic music, the legendary Oum Kalthoum, passed away. She was the most important voice, and artist (and maybe human being) for the vast majority of Arabs around the world (regardless of religion !!) In 2015, I paid tribute to her by reinterpreting one of her greatest songs, Al Leila Wa Leila, in a way that had never been done before.
Kalthoum is a celebration of women who changed the course of history and whose artistic influence still has an impact on our daily lives. I therefore chose Oum Kalthoum, an iconic figure, a true monument in the history of the Arab people, and furthermore the voice I have been listening to the most since my early childhood.
