Ya Balad

"Sombre et lumineux, empreint d’une mélancolie âpre et indocile, l’univers de Bachar Mar-Khalifé bouleverse par sa densité émotionnelle." Le Monde (France) "The result is a breathtaking global fusion of classical modes, electronica, jazz, trance, dub, world music and much else besides, expansively drawing on influences ranging from Oum Khartoum to Pink Floyd and mixing traditional Lebanese folk tunes and an extraordinary setting of the liturgical ‘Kyrie Eleison’ with his own dazzlingly original compositions."
