Marcel Khalifé Announces New Album and Tour
Fall of The Moon Due Out This April
Master Oud player Marcel Khalifé will be releasing his latest tribute to poet Mahmoud Darwish with Fall of The Moon Due out this April. Inspired by the late poet and the Arab Spring and coinciding with his album release will be a tour including performances in Berkeley, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, and Washington, DC.
Both Darwish and Khalifé sought elevation through technical mastery and passionate honesty beyond the morass of politics, into the realm of the human, the vitally connected. Darwish's complicated life of activism, exile, imprisonment, and marginalization did not prevent him from producing stunning poems that chronicled his travails with a freshness and precision similar to Khalifé's musical approaches.
Together, these two iconic figures of contemporary Arab art and culture achieved one of Khalifé's life-long goals: to give voice to the voiceless. His art has won him recognition from UNESCO, who declared Khalifé an Artist for Peace in 2005. It has been featured on the world's most prestigious stages and in major feature films like 2007's Rendition. In a newly awakened Middle East, Khalifé's works continue to inspire and transform, reminding singers and listeners of their innate humanity and dignity.
Marcel Khalifé and the Al Mayadine Ensemble-including premiere female vocalist Oumaima Khalil, pianist Rami Khalifé, and Bachar Khalifé on percussion will start their tour on April 20th in Houston, Texas; the city in which Khalifé's late friend and collaborator passed away in 2008.
