Flying with Elephants
|
“Flying with Elephants” successfully wagers on a harmonious blend of diverse musical influences: Jazz, Classical Lyricism and Oriental notes delightfully fuse East and West through the ever distinctive sound of traditional instruments such as the Qanun, Oud, Riq and Udu. The vocals added to certain tracks enrich the project with a new dimension. Musicians from Lebanon, Syria, Switzerland and France bring their boundless contribution to Philippe El Hage’s cheerful and ambitious project.
“An original, well-versed musical language meets intonations where vibrations come from the depths of the earth, from East to West, blending vibrant tones and spellbinding rhythms” – Liberation, April 5, 2009.

“Flying with Elephants » réussit le pari d'unir harmonieusement différentes influences musicales : Jazz, lyrisme classique et sonorités orientales fusionnent délicieusement l'orient et l'occident à travers ce timbre si particulier des instruments traditionnels comme le Qanun, le Oud, le Riq et le Udu. Une voix posée sur certains titres enrichit le projet d'une dimension nouvelle. Des musiciens venant du Liban, de Syrie, de Suisse et de France apportent sans limites leurs contributions à l'ambitieux et heureux projet de Philippe El Hage.
« Un langage musical original où les vibrations viennent des profondeurs de la terre, de l’Orient à l’Occident, mêlant tonalités et rythmes envoûtants »-
Libération, 5 Avril 2009.
