"Sounds of Claire" is a dreamlike journey through memory and imagination, composed by Alex Wakim as a tribute to his grandmother, Claire Maalouf Haddad. Blending jazz, tango, Arabic modes, and classical influences, the album reimagines the Levant of the 1930s–50s through her eyes, before exile reshaped her world. Each track offers a vignette: a train ride from Beirut to Damascus, a lavish embassy party, a wedding under ancient cedars. In Wakim’s hands, memory becomes music, and lost moments are reborn in sound.
