Info
On December 2, 2026, at the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès in Strasbourg, Hiba Tawaji invites Ibrahim Maalouf for a tribute to French song. A Lebanese singer at ease across several repertoires, Hiba presents a selection of francophone classics and reinterprets them within an intimate setting designed for the stage. Her voice, precise and nuanced, brings the lyrics to the fore while opening the door to new tonal colors.
Alongside Ibrahim Maalouf, trumpeter and arranger, these songs are transformed. The new versions blend classical orchestration, jazz inflections, pop pulses and Middle Eastern sonorities. Maalouf creates sonic architectures that leave room for the voice, allow instrumental breathing, and shift familiar reference points without losing the spirit of the originals.
The duo relies on complicity and cultural exchange. The trumpet answers, underlines, and sometimes veers off on a tangent, while Hiba Tawaji deploys clear diction and a strong sense of narrative. Familiar refrains are rediscovered in new ways—sometimes stripped back, sometimes carried by the sweep of an ensemble. It is a journey through songs that have accompanied several generations, conducted with mutual attentiveness and a mastery of nuance.
