Following the success of Trumpets of Michel-Ange — praised by critics, amassing millions of streams, and supported by more than 140 concert dates around the world — Ibrahim Maalouf continues and deepens the adventure launched around the quarter-tone trumpet with his album, expected on June 12, 2026, “TRUMPETS OF MICHEL-ANGE VOL. 2”.
As a prelude to this new volume, he unveils the first single, “LAS TROMPETAS DE NAEL,” available on April 30, 2026.
With “LAS TROMPETAS DE NAEL,” Ibrahim Maalouf delivers a piece that is both festive and deeply human: a dance—a kolo—and above all a living story, a circle that expands. Born of a melody “coming from several lands at once,” the track carries within it dance steps, children’s laughter, and that gentle melancholy unique to major celebrations.
Conceived as a musical wedding, the song brings generations together without setting them against one another: traditions breathe, transform, and travel within it. The music becomes a crossroads, blending the trance and freedom of Romani music, South American pulses, and Middle Eastern ornaments, in a spirit of openness where “no one is a stranger.”
The album will be available on June 12, 2026
At the heart of this celebration, Nael embodies childhood—the starting point. Through the trumpets, Ibrahim Maalouf recalls what matters most: encouraging from the very beginning, passing things on without imposing, opening paths. “LAS TROMPETAS DE NAEL” also speaks of that intimate “marriage” we make with ourselves, with the child we once were, and whom we must never abandon.
Because the kolo is a collective dance, this single highlights the energy of the group: a multitude of voices that become a single force. Festive, the track is also nostalgic—we dance to <a href="https://menainsights.com/celebrate-mothers-day-with-a-luxurious-daycation-at-al-jaddaf-rotana/”>celebrate, but also to hold on, not to forget. And the music becomes that invisible thread that connects generations.
“LAS TROMPETAS DE NAEL” is an invitation to come back together: to remember where we come from while accepting becoming something else. A tribute to inheritances and their transformation—a dance without borders, an endless celebration.
