Based on divergent musical traditions, his music reaches for new forms of expression beyond folkloristic concepts.

Since his first appearance in the early eighties, Rabih Abou-Khalil's sound and aesthetics have put their clear stamp on our perception of jazz and world music. Born in Lebanon in 1957 and at home in Central Europe since 1978, multi-award winner Abou-Khalil has developed an artistic style all his own. Arab scales, labyrinthine themes, odd metres and virtuosic improvisations are the core of his musical language that has become a vital part of our contemporary cosmos of sound. Over the years Abou-Khalil has proved his language in very different contexts -- with well-known jazz greats as well as master musicians from the east, classical string quartets, world music players or as an unaccompanied soloist on the oud.
