Catalog Number: IBM42 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 3760300201206 After 17 albums and a prestigious Grammy Awards nomination, Ibrahim Maalouf returns with a new and highly innovative musical project. In terms of philosophical, historical and musical aspects, T.O.M.A, which stands for Trumpets of Michel Ange, is a great adventure that takes us to a world where folklore and modernity become one. As always, Ibrahim's music strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and approachability, making it both challenging and inviting for a diverse audience. Trumpets of Michel Ange is first and foremost a mixed album, a true blend of influences where the festive and nostalgic East is expressed with a rare freedom. Trumpets of Michel Ange is also the name of a brand of trumpets created by Ibrahim in collaboration with French manufacturers. It is this unique instrument, invented over half a century ago by his father, that Ibrahim plays on stage, and on which he now educates the new generation of trumpet players. Last but not least, Trumpets of Michel Ange is a big celebration that brings together generations, amateurs and professionals alike, along with special guests! With Trumpets of Michel Ange, Ibrahim lays the cornerstone of an ambitious life project combining lutherie, French cultural exceptionalism, teaching, albums and live performance, and above all aiming to bring us together around shared values.
