Born in Beirut, Ibrahim Maalouf was raised in Paris after fleeing the war with his family. As a child, he dreamed of becoming an architect to rebuild Lebanon, but after discovering the trumpet under the guidance of his father Nassim — a former student of Maurice André and the first Arabic trumpeter to play Western classical music — his destiny was apparent. Adapting the Arabic musical language to the unique quarter-tone trumpet invented by his father, revels in the influences of middle-eastern and occidental culture. His international collaborations have included ventures with Sting, Amadou et Mariam, Vanessa Paradis, Jacky Terrasson and Marcel Khalifé.
