Marcel est un artist au talent unique qui ne peut passer inentendu.Il faut savoir reconnaitre l'existance de la beautée là ou elle se trouve, même si parfois elle ne nous convient pas. Un peu à l'inspiration Gibran, ce musicien,avec délicatesse,crée un univers de notes qu'une oreille se plait à écouter. Différent du style "nouvelle géneration", il harmonise tres mélodieusement entre le moderne et l'ancien. A un homme plein d'avenir , je leve mon chapeau tres haut et je le félicite surtout pour la chanson Ommi.

I'm from the Algarve region where the souls of the old moors still sing the "Fado", among so many other traditions that where left by our cousins. I'm so happy to go and watch you in person this coming sunday in Boston at the "Berkley performance center" where I have a dear friend who graduated from there a "Cape Verdian" composer.
I would love to get an e-mail from you it would be an honor. And let's pray for the health of mister Arafat, that all goes well for him and at this time of Ramadan specially that God have mercy on all of us. Sincerely,

are a necessary artistic and human expression particulary in these days when justice, truth, and human compassion are so lacking in world leaders and all governments. Your choice of songs
awakens the conscience of your listeners.
We truly enjoyed your concert and we also are very curious to know which of your CD's has Umaima Khalil singing the song Uhibbuka Akthar, which we heard her sing tonight.
It was very heartwarming to see your sons, as musicians in their own right, accompanying their father...you must be very proud.
Looking forward to hearing and seeing more of your musical evolutions in the years to come.

Based on all that I have read about Mr. Kahlife's compositions, as well as about his artistic mission and his philanthropy, I know the evening will be magical and memorable for life.

Comments: During wartime Lebanon, Marcel's music and songs (banned at the time in east Beirut) always found a way to make it through. I reluctantly listened to Sawt elJabal and Sawt el Watan only because a song for Marcel might pass on. I had anyone who went to west beirut bring me back Marcel cassettes' with him.
Now i miss those songs and that music..not that i dont like his recent ones, on the contrary.. but just because his oldies is another bridge to the Lebanon we used to know..
so please, if there is a way to put that music (toot toot and sheel eldabshi ya salah and....) on CD's or get the cassettes to be on sale on the internet, that would be great..

Comments: Marcel Khalife .. this genius composer which my simple personality is not capable enough to evaluate this great person but i really rank him (hope you read this mr marcel) in the same position of world revolutionist composers just like Igor stravinsky/ Rimsky korsakov / Claude Debussy and many others..He has proven that the arabic music can be employed to encourge ethics and patriotism. i wish i can type in arabic i would be more expressive however i wouldn't really fullfill what really marcel does deserve. the most amazing thing that Marcel is an arab!.. i'm so much proud that we have sucha creative professional musician a man of principles and ethics. i'm so much amazed by the mixture of the harmony that he come up with .. so much tight compact music clauses , very puposful lyrics.. the most thing that i can't stop hearing again and again was JADAL Quartrain.. these pieces of arabic harmonic musical wonders. Marcel i did attend one concert you made in syria but !
there are so many thirsty ears there who want's to hear more of your live works please concider establishing one of you wonder concerts in the oprah house or cham palace in damascus and you might concider to co-operate with the syrian national philharmony orchestra i guess suca ideas would be so much welcomed..
All the best. carry on. we prevail...

Monde arabe: parole engagée contre résolution illusoire
Par Ghania Oukazi
Des notes de piano. Un bruit de tonnerre sur fond de percussion qui ressemble étrangement à un bruit de bombardement. Oumeyma El Khalil chante le vacarme des rues des villes arabes et le silence de leurs maisons. A Tunis, le sommet arabe venait d’adopter une résolution pour condamner l’assassinat des civils ´sans distinctionª.
Rita, c’est connu, c’est cette juive aux beaux yeux noirs de laquelle s’était épris Mahmoud Darwich, sans pouvoir s’y approcher parce qu’un fusil le séparait d’elle. Le fusil dans le texte de Darwich représente cette guerre haineuse dans laquelle deux peuples, juif et palestinien, s’enlisent depuis l’éternité. De retour à Alger, Marcel Khalifa a chanté Rita. Mais pas seulement Rita. Sous les notes tristes du piano, celles sourdes d’un violoncelle et avec son sacré luth, Marcel a secoué toutes celles et tous ceux à qui la parole engagée redonne de la fierté. Oumeyma chantera ´Ousfour tal min Echoubakª que Marcel dédie aux prisonniers en Israël ´et aussi à ceux dans les prisons arabesª.
Par la parole engagée, les deux artistes ont remué le couteau dans la plaie. Jusqu’à en renverser les tripes. Ils ont rappelé à leur auditoire que le monde arabe croule sous les pressions expansionnistes des Américains. Ils ont aussi montré du doigt les régimes arabes sous lesquels des peuples entiers sont sacrifiés au nom d’intérêts bassement matériels. Et pour préserver des républiques héritières.
En l’espace d’un concert, tout est remis sur la table, Falloudja, Rafah, la torture des Irakiens, la liquidation physique des Palestiniens. Debout, l’assistance avait entonné à la fin ´monadhilounª, comme aux temps où les Arabes vantaient 73, l’année de la grande revanche sur la nekba de 67.
Emotion, colère, espoir s’entremêlent à en couper le souffle. C’est comme Sawt El Arab émis du Caire au temps de la guerre de libération nationale. Cette voix chaude n’était pas sans effet sur les combattants. La parole engagée a toujours emballé les foules arabes. C’est une culture que les Occidentaux ne connaissent pas.
A partir d’une salle algéroise obscure, cette parole a fusé au moment où les chefs d’Etat arabes adoptaient une résolution d’une tiédeur à la limite de l’indécence. Ceux dont les esprits ont été secoués par les vers de Darwich ne connaissaient pas trop la teneur de la résolution arabe. A vrai dire, ils ne s’étaient pas trop attardés sur les résultats d’un sommet qui n’a, par le passé, jamais surpris qui que ce soit. L’on connaît d’ailleurs comment les chefs d’Etat arabes réagissent quand la pression occidentale fait force de loi. Ils baissent la tête. Pire, ils en font plus qu’il ne leur est demandé. La résolution de Tunis en est la preuve. Ils s’abstiendront d’être fermes sur les effroyables atteintes des droits de l’Homme dans les territoires occupés et en Irak, mais se précipiteront pour condamner les assassinats des civils israéliens. Comme si cela changeait quoi que ce soit à la question palestinienne. C’est véritablement un sommet au rabais que Tunis a accepté d’abrit!
er pour des raisons que le comportement de Kadhafi, encore plus l’absence des rois du Qatar, de l’Arabie Saoudite et du Bahreïn expliquent parfaitement.
Dans ce cas, que peuvent faire les Arabes actuellement ? s’interrogent ceux qui croient dur comme fer que les jeux sont faits et que l’ordre politique et économique mondial est définitivement établi. Et là, on dénie même le droit aux dirigeants arabes de faire preuve ne serait-ce que d’un zeste de fermeté. Dans le ton, bien sûr. Quant à l’action, il est clair que 73 ne pourrait être rééditée. Trop divisés et soucieux de leur propre sort, les dirigeants arabes ont perdu toute marque de dignité. Jusqu’à courber le dos et plier l’échine devant les pressions les plus insultantes et dans les situations les plus humiliantes.
D’ici mars 2005, date à laquelle Alger abritera le 17ème sommet arabe, l’on pourrait s’attendre à d’autres évolutions dans ce sens. Puisque même les atrocités d’Abou Ghrib n’ont pas suscité un intérêt particulier chez eux. Il faut croire que dès lors que les Américains décident qu’il en soit ainsi, les Arabes auront du mal à relever la tête. Ils n’auront même pas le courage de vouloir le faire juste avec des mots.
Parce que Mahmoud Darwich, lui, l’a fait. Il a eu à se révolter par la parole engagée. C’était le jour où les puissants de ce monde avaient décidé de conclure les accords d’Oslo. Par le verbe, Darwich avait à cette époque reproché à Arafat d’avoir trahi la mémoire des martyrs. En signe de protestation, il avait décidé de quitter le conseil palestinien dont il était membre. Mais qu’est-ce cela a apporté comme changement ?, pourrions-nous nous interroger. Rien ! Mais parce que Darwich était tout seul à le faire. Sans personne pour le soutenir, encore moins pour l’imiter.
Aujourd’hui, les temps ont changé, et ceux qui écoutent encore Darwich sont peu nombreux. Ou alors, ils ont pris de l’âge, comme Marcel Khalifa dont la barbe a blanchi par les années. Ils ont quelquefois le son d’un luth engagé pour se remettre debout. Le temps d’un concert dans une salle obscure. Et quand les dirigeants arabes le permettent bien.
Pourtant, ceux qui avaient provoqué l’émiettement du monde arabe sont toujours là. Ils continuent de tenir ses gouvernants en laisse, même s’ils sont contraints d’en changer la méthode. Pour cela, ils qualifient bien le terrorisme d’Etat des Israéliens de... légitime défense.
