À la Française

Description

Hiba Tawaji and Ibrahim Maalouf pay a vibrant tribute to French song with the release of their first joint album: À LA FRANÇAISE. A journey to the heart of French song, revisited through their unique artistic universes and their couple's complicity. With the Orchestre de la Garde républicaine and a jazz quintet, À LA FRANÇAISE is an elegant and refined tribute, at the crossroads of classical music, jazz, and Eastern influences. The album perfectly captures, and with sincerity, the family and artistic complicity of the duo, driven by a shared emotion and the desire to share with the public an essential part of their story. With this album, the two artists unveil a proposal that is both intimate and masterful, conceived as a dialogue between two musical heritages and two complementary artistic sensibilities. The repertoire brings together great classics of French song - Que je t'aime, La Bohème, La Javanaise, approached with the respect due to the original works, while offering them a reinterpretation that is both grandiose and cinematic. Hiba Tawaji's great voice, powerful and of rare sensitivity, enhances these songs with a deep and luminous interpretation, revealing all their emotional depth with infinite delicacy, while Ibrahim Maalouf's arrangements reveal other nuances, between orchestral breadth, jazz freedom, and Eastern resonances.
