Renowned musician Ibrahim Maalouf is on his way to Cairo and we couldn’t be more excited! Maybe only if he was performing his award-winning music in front of the pyramids… Oh wait! He is! Alright, if you needed more encouragement than that, here’s 9 reasons you should go see Ibrahim Maalouf on March 19th.
- It’s in front of the pyramids
The pyramids are basically the best, and oldest, venue in the world. Jaw-dropping view plus jaw-dropping music is hands-down a “can’t-miss.” And come on, if you’re one of those Egyptians who have somehow managed to not go to the pyramids or hasn’t gone recently, you can check it off your list.
- You can get a bit more cultured
We all know deep down that we should listen to something that is good for our soul. And we should listen to it live, because that’s probably even better for our soul. Did you know that Ibrahim Maalouf is one of the few people who can play quarter tones on the trumpet? Do you even know what that means? Now is your chance to find out!
- You can show off your cultured-ness on social media
Has your Instagram been empty lately? Or you need fresh material for your Snap Chat? A trumpet concert at the pyramids is probably a good move for you.
- Finally benefit from the pain of being a student
Hey, guess what! Students get a nice fat discount. Looks like your exams are paying off, kind of.
- Maybe you could even practice your French
Ibrahim Maalouf is French-Lebanese, so we’re predicting a rush of French expats to Giza. You don’t have to go seeking them out at boring conversation hours or stalking their haunts around the French Institute, you can just go enjoy music together instead!
- You’ll hear amazing hits like “Kalthoum – Alf Leila w Leila,” “True Sorry,” and “They Don’t Care About Us”
Sawt Music posted a poll on the event’s Facebook page, so expect to hear the ones you are really excited about.
- Enjoy incredible music influenced with Arab culture
Ibrahim Maalouf loves to embrace his heritage in his music, but expertly mixes in other elements that really jazz it up!
- Could probably fall in love
The pyramids against the night sky combined with live music is pretty romantic, so maybe you should be careful who you invite….
- Your life could pretty much be changed
Now that we think about it, that experience could probably change your entire life. Ready to be moved? Better make your plans now. Visit the event’s Facebook page for more information about the schedule and tickets: Ibrahim Maalouf Live in Egypt
