Today, the Spotlight shines On trumpet virtuoso and international superstar
Ibrahim Maalouf
trumpetb.1980
Ibrahim is exactly the type of artist we love hosting on the podcast—sensitive, open and unwilling to be limited by genre or expectations. His work mixes jazz, pop, classical, electronic, Middle Eastern, and African influences into a cosmopolitan sound all his own.
Ibrahim and his family fled the civil war in Beirut when he was still a child, settling in France, where his musical education and accomplishments took flight. In addition to winning prestigious international competitions and working with the likes of
Wynton Marsalis
trumpetb.1961
Jon Batiste

Sting
bass, electricb.1951
In this conversation, Ibrahim talks about his father's drive and impact on his own development, the Middle East's influence on symphonic music, how Bach and Mozart were punks, and the ideas behind Capacity to Love.
