Ibrahim Maalouf's new album, "Queen of Sheba", is an ode to powerful women.

The Lebanese-French trumpeter and composer evokes the drama and mystery of the Queen of Sheba, after releasing several acclaimed albums dedicated to Arab divas – such as Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum (“Kalthoum”, 2015) or French-Italian pop star of Egyptian descent Dalida (“Dalida d'Ibrahim Maalouf”, 2017) –

The album is a new collaborative album with the great Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo.

"My grandmother is a woman who has known three wars, lost a child and was a strong woman who adapted to everything around her. This is the strength of women in our society and I will continue to pass on this love and appreciation I have for them through my projects." Amin Maalouf.
