On December 8, 2026, at the Maison de la Culture de Clermont‑Ferrand, Hiba Tawaji invites Ibrahim Maalouf for À la française, a journey through French song reimagined in their own way. The Lebanese singer draws on a carefully selected repertoire of classics, which she performs in French with a precision that puts the text at the forefront. Alongside her, Ibrahim Maalouf signs arrangements in which his trumpet converses with an ensemble blending strings, jazz, pop and Oriental timbres. The balance between tradition and reinvention guides the program: familiar melodies, shifted harmonies, rhythms that glide from a subdued swing to a more pop-driven pulse, and motifs from the Levant that open up new perspectives. The duo presents itself as a bridge between Beirut and Paris, between Arab culture and French heritage. On stage, their rapport shapes the concert’s arc, alternating instrumental asides, signature covers and more intimate interludes. This reinterpretation is conceived to let these songs—whose appeal spans generations—be heard in a new light.
