A potent Arabic and Mediterranean pulse runs through the inimitable combination of traditional Middle Eastern and Western elements which characterises Lebanese composer and oud master Marcel Khalifé’s music.
Declared Artist for Peace in 2005 by UNESCO, Khalifé has always worked to give full voice to the joys and heartbreaks of a fraught region like the Middle East, never being afraid to make music even in the face of war – and his performances in bombed-out concert halls in his native Lebanon are statement to that.
Tonight he is joined by the Al Mayadeen Ensemble – which he founded in 1978 – to perform music inspired by the verses of Palestine’s beloved late poet and exiled hero, Mahmoud Darwish. Pensive vocals intertwine with hints of jazz ballads and symphonic classics, mirroring the haunting journey of Darwish’s words through sorrow, reflection, and joy despite mortality. The concert is presented in co-sponsorship with the London Palestine Film Festival. www.palestinefilm.org

في هذه الليلة، ينظم إتحاد كتاب وأدباء الإمارات في أبوظبي، بالتعاون مع جمعية البيارة الثقافية، أمسية للفنان مارسيل خليفة يتحدث فيها عن تجربته مع الشاعر الفلسطيني الراحل محمود درويش.
في تصريح قديم لمارسيل قال أنه تعرف على شعر محمود درويش عبر قراءات موسيقية شبه صامتة للقصائد الأولى، وكانت تلك المقاربات الموسيقية للقصائد يغلب عليها طابع الحذر حتى الخوف، الخوف المصاحب دائماً لأي مشروع جديد، وبخجل وتردد راح يعرض تصوره لضرورة غناء تلك القصائد، لتكون أول تظاهرة لأسطوانة “وعود من العاصفة” على خشبة الجناح اللبناني في مهرجان الإنسانية بباريس مع أول سبتمبر عام 1976، حيث استطاع أن يضع موسيقاه في سياق النبض الدرويشي، وذلك بإعطاء بُعد موسيقي مستقل عن الكلمة سواء من الناحية الميلودية أو الإيقاعية أو التوافقية فكان هناك عالم صوتي يتشكل من بعدين، موسيقي وشعري، لينبثق من استقلالهما وحدة فنية، ومنذ هذه المحاولات وقبل أن يتعرف أحدهما على الآخر كان يقول مارسيل: “كنت أحس بأن شعر درويش قد أنزل عليَّ ولي”. عن تلك التجربة وغيرها من الشخصي إلى السياسي سيتحدث مارسيل بحضور محمود درويش المتألق في الذاكرة العربية الحديثة، وسيوقع بعد إنتهاء الأمسية ألبومه الأخير “سقوط المطر”.

Marcel, Rami et Bachar Khalifé
Sans qu’il soit nécessaire de remonter à la sagesse d’Aristote, la musique demeure le meilleur moyen d’adoucir les moeurs. Artiste engagé pour la paix et figure emblématique de la musique arabe du Moyen-Orient, Marcel Khalifé nous en donne une nouvelle preuve avec ce projet qui le réunit avec ses deux fils, pour désamorcer l’idée reçue du conflit entre les générations tout autant que celle qui oppose la tradition et la modernité.
« On a déposé dans un même creuset toutes nos douleurs, nos joies et nos folies, aime à dire Marcel Khalifé, mais ce projet est cependant teinté d’une grande sérénité car nous sommes tous trois en fusion totale avec nos instruments qui sont des médiateurs de notre langage personnel et une extension de nous-même ».
« Nous ne sommes pas un trio, précise encore Marcel Khalifé, nous sommes Marcel, Rami et Bachar Khalifé, trois entités distinctes unies dans un même corps musical ». Forts de l’idée que la musique est un langage universel, c’est à la croisée des expériences de chacun, l’oud et le chant pour Marcel, le piano pour Rami et les percussions pour Bachar, que ces trois-là ont choisi de renouer avec une autre langue première celle qui fait converger les talents.

conductor: Maestro Thomas Kalb,
soloist on Rababah: cellist Hassan Moataz,
في الصحراء بين كثبان الرمل والواحات ؛ الربابة رنين وقّعته حوافر الخيل في غناء الروح الأبدي ؛ الربابة ديوان العرب وماء لقريحة الشعراء ؛ الربابة سيرة العرب في رحيل القوافل وترتيل البيان ب…حثاً عن واحة الروح ؛ الربابة تشعل في النفس صهيل الخي…ال ؛ الربابة تستسلم بين يدين وتورد خيلها كلما ضاق الكلام ؛ الربابة مثل الدمع تخرج حارة مالحة وشهية من قوس السحر ؛ الربابة رحيق الروح في بيداء الألحان ؛ الربابة تورد الإبل إلى واحات الينابيع ؛ الربابة ترخي للمعلقّات جدائل الشعر في مساء بعيد ؛ يا ربابة لك الليل كلّه فلتنطقي حباً
