And the winners are.. Miroslav F. and Fanya B.

Ibrahim Maalouf represents the most progressive connection between West and East at today’s music scene. He worked and performed with Elvis Costello, Sting, Salif Keita, Amada & Mariam, Vanessa Paradis, Lhasa de Sela, Artur H or Erik Truffaz and Dave Douglas.

Diagnostic marks the third and final chapter in a musical triptych which trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf began in 2007 with Diasporas, his first album, and enriched with Diachronism some two years later.

Better than a continuation, this new record is an outcome, the result of much research into the interplay of harmonies, tonal dynamics and their acclimatization to rhythms, and the unsuspected connivances which exist between differing musical styles. You can recognize the major influence exerted by marching bands from the Balkans, the batucadas of Brazil, Latin jazz… or heavy metal.
