Ibrahim Maalouf isn’t one of those musicians where if you’ve heard one of their songs, you’ve heard them all. Apparently being the world’s best quarter tone trumpet player wasn’t enough for him, because he is a master composer, arranger, producer and cultural diplomat in addition to being highly versatile as an instrumentalist.
Red and Black Light is his “electro” album, released the same week as "Kalthoum", his tribute to Oum Kalthoum, the Egyptian singer and feminist who used her voice to unite the Arab people, whether they be Muslim, Jewish, Christian, or atheist. You can see another side of Maalouf in "Illusions", which has more of an orchestral flavor to it, with a section of background trumpets and mostly acoustical instrumentation. The common thread in all his work is the Middle Eastern sound, which is why he needs a fourth valve on his trumpet. Note: If you can’t stand synthesizers or the sound of hard rock electric guitar, get "Illusions" or "Kalthoum" rather than Red and Black Light, but if you don’t get something of his you will be missing out in a big way.
