Ibrahim Maalouf and the Trumpets of Michel-Ange Vol. 2 - Eine Weltreise in Tönen

In the organizer's words:

Ibrahim Maalouf is more than just a jazz musician. He is a storyteller, a bridge builder between Orient and Occident and one of the few instrumentalists who manage to combine the energy of a rock concert with the depth of philosophical thought. After two Grammy nominations and sold-out venues worldwide, the exceptional musician is coming to the Kulturraffinerie K714 with his "T.O.M.A" (Trumpets of Michel-Ange).

Maalouf plays a very special quarter-tone trumpet developed by his father. It is the only instrument that allows him to play the microtonal nuances that are so characteristic of Arabic music. It is a sound that gets right under your skin. Through a fourth valve, it combines Western scales with the sounds of the Orient, creating a sound without borders. You can experience a fusion of festive oriental nostalgia and modern, urban groove. Maalouf's music is highly sophisticated, but immediately gets into your blood, regardless of whether you are a jazz expert or simply love good music. "T.O.M.A" is not just a band name or album title, but a movement. It is an evening that celebrates the diversity of our society.

Born in Lebanon and raised in France, Maalouf has revolutionized the trumpet. He has worked with stars from Sting to Marcus Miller and fills large halls today. His nine-piece ensemble "The Trumpets of Michel-Ange" stands for a very dense, almost orchestral sound and is a tribute to craftsmanship and passion - fittingly, he has even designed his own trumpet line to inspire the next generation of musicians.
