Ibrahim Maalouf - Illusions (2013)

As in his four previous albums or in the different musical pieces he has composed over the last ten years, Illusions is the fruit of a long mediatation lasting several years around a theme close to his heart: the illusory or true way we look at things. This album was recorded for the first time with members of the group he has been playing with since his first album. Illusions is also a concept album in which Ibrahim decides to have fun, without lingering too long on the feel-good notes, but rather by juggling with the reassuring ones to put them in jeopardy.
