Ibrahim Maalouf - Diachronism (2009/2018) Hi Res

In 2005, before the release of his first album, Ibrahim began a work that seemed obvious. With his first album, Ibrahim had made an artistic proposal, but was far from having finished all he had to say. And this second album was the logical continuation of the first one. An evolution in the form of a question. "Do I have to evolve necessarily in a clear artistic direction: Oriental, or Occidental? Am I obliged by my origins to take refuge in the ease of the exotic? Ibrahim asks this question through an amazing process. One "DISORIENTAL" and the other "PARADOXIDENTAL", and both treat the same question from two distinct angles. The first is the look of the oriental on the interbreeding with the west. The other is the Western's view of miscegenation with the East. This album is according to Ibrahim a research work. Far from being an outcome, it is part of an artistic and intimate therapeutic approach.
