“Fly by Magic”
Christine Atallah’s velvety vocal beauty, inspiring
interpretation and magnetic stage presence will take
you far away in an exhilarating and unpredictable union
of styles. The concert will present an exotic
combination of Jazz repertoire and Arabic instrumentation in an unexpected
collection of original song repertoire. Their repertoire
ventures dazzling forays into innovative creativity,
witty selections, bravado tunes and tender masterpieces.
Several numbers push the limits of jazz and moving into
exotic variations blending touches of pop, sultry cabaret,
torchy jazz, with Arabic flavors and instruments.
The
Bassalindos compose and perform their original
music .The delightful selections are wistful to amusing,
inspiring
to enrapturing, playful to profound. They radiate a
sincerity and integrity, a living tribute to the power
of music
which transcends race, religion and politics and appeals
to what is common to humankind: love, life, hope and
the soul. Talented musicians from both rich traditions
will play side by side, each contributing their own
distinct brilliance to this thrilling and unique interchange
of
musical textures and colors.
All will be tinted with
the dynamism and ever vital mysterious Arabic pulse in
a nuanced musical tag between East and West. The concert will reflect the unique heritage and musical
path taken by the fascinating diva
born in Canada of pure Middle Eastern heritage and trained as an opera
singer. The engaging dark haired songstress will buoy
up the audience for an enchanting and unforgettable ride.
There will be surprises along the way- forays into other
imported styles, all brewed and blended into a heady
combination that will surely leave no one indifferent.
Fly by magic!
