- Summary:
- "In Arabic music, there is more than just major and minor; there are almost 300 different scales that can be used to express oneself. There are sad scales, there are very sad scales, and there are infinitely sad scales." Born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1957, then exiled in Europe to escape the civil war at the end of the 1970s, Rabih Abou-Khalil extended this movement within his music. For this virtuoso of the oud, the East remains the starting point and the West a territory of conquests, not by annexation but by sedimentation, as if each journey and encounter "naturally" deposited a layer of foreign culture on its Lebanese foundations. The movement saw him mix his compound meters with American jazz (he collaborated with Kenny Wheeler, Steve Swallow, Charlie Mariano, and Sonny Fortune) before focusing on Europe in the mid-90s (from klezmer to flamenco, from Portuguese singing to musette waltz).
