Oxmo Puccino | Au pays d'Alice (w/ Ibrahim Maalouf) | Album
Regular price
Au pays d’Alice... (2014) is an ambitious, multicultural opera that merges jazz, hip-hop, and classical music to reinterpret Lewis Carroll’s classic tale. Critics praise the "trippy retelling" that unites jazz and rap with a full orchestra and a children’s choir. Known as a "rapper-poet," Puccino is lauded for his poetic precision and spoken-word style, often compared to the narrative depth of Serge Gainsbourg. Ibrahim Maalouf provides a "superb" foundation using his signature quarter-tone trumpet to blend Arabic influences with modern jazz-rock.
