IBRAHIM MAALOUF/Diagnostic: Transplanted from war torn Lebanon to France as a kid, Maalouf established his own vision of world beat drawing influences from the Balkans to Brazil into his trumpet. World beat that sounds like the soundtrack to an unmade picture, this is compelling sitting down music for those cognac sipping moments when you need a soundtrack for your sadness. Rather than picking it apart to play ‘spot the influence', it's better to sit back and let the vibes wash over you. Wild stuff that'll give you the sonic adventure you didn't bargain for but probably have been hoping for.
