Lebanon 's composer/musician Marcel Khalifé is a master and innovator of the
oud and a pioneer of contemporary Arab song. Renowned throughout the Middle
East for over three decades, he has sustained a following akin to pop artists.
In 2005, he was named UNESCO Artist for Peace. Performing on oud and vocals, he
will be accompanied by the Al Mayadine Ensemble in a program featuring works
from his new recording Taqasim, as well as selections from his older repertoire.
In his association with great contemporary Arab poets, particularly Palestinian
poet par excellence, Mahmoud Darwish, he seeks to renew the character of the
Arabic song, to break its stereotypes, and to advance the culture of the
society that surrounds it. On his journey, Marcel Khalifé invents and creates
original music, a novel world of sounds, freed of all established rules. This
language elevates him to the level of an ambassador of his own culture and to
the vanguard of Near Eastern music innovators. Co-presented with the Cedar
Cultural Center.
