Bleep

Fascinating turn from Bleep favourite label InFinè by French Lebanse singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Bachar Mar-Khalifé. He is a product of the Conservatory of Paris and has collaborated with conductors Lorin Maazel, James Gaffigan as well as with the Orchestre national de France and the Ensemble intercontemporain. He has worked on a series of projects that melt jazz, world music, electronic and hip-hop with artists as diverse as Bojan Z, Carl Craig, Francesco Tristano, Murcof or Kery James. Moreover, Born in war-torn Lebanon, he is the son of the legendary Eastern-Lute player Marcel Khalifé, and the Brother of Rami Khalifé (a member of the band Aufgang). With this esteemed background he brings us his third LP for the Parisian label, a heady brew of sparse neo-classical arrangements and haunted vocals.
