“CHASING THE SUN”, ON MAY 22, 2026
Following his first single “LAS TROMPETAS DE NAEL,” Ibrahim Maalouf will unveil a new track from his forthcoming album, TRUMPETS OF MICHEL-ANGE VOL. 2, on May 22, 2026.
Here, Ibrahim brings together an exceptional lineup: Richard Galliano, one of the most respected accordionists in the world, and Las Migas, the all-female Spanish quartet known for their modern flamenco sound.
A RHYTHMIC, RADIANT, VIBRANT, AND UNIFYING COLLABORATION
“CHASING THE SUN” embodies the spirit of the Trumpets of Michel-Ange: bringing together heritages, timbres, and cultures into an open and universal musical language.
Through “CHASING THE SUN,” Ibrahim Maalouf continues his exploration of music rooted in transmission, movement, and encounter, bridging the Mediterranean, traditional jazz, and global music traditions.
EXCEPTIONAL GUESTS
A major figure in accordion and European jazz, Richard Galliano has recorded more than 70 albums under his own name and remains one of the rare accordionists to have achieved such broad international recognition, particularly across jazz and classical repertoires.
Alongside him, the four talented musicians of Las Migas bring their flamenco energy, distinctive vocal and instrumental identity, and a free, contemporary approach to flamenco shaped by more than 20 years on stage. Las Migas have also been honored with a Latin Grammy Award.
THE ALBUM TRUMPETS OF MICHEL-ANGE VOL. 2 WILL BE AVAILABLE ON JUNE 12, 2026.
In the spirit of Trumpets of Michel-Ange, “CHASING THE SUN” reflects the philosophy of transmission that has guided Ibrahim Maalouf since the beginning of his career. At the heart of the project are collective energy, listening, and the flow of voices and rhythms — like a shared language being built and passed on.
With “CHASING THE SUN,” Ibrahim Maalouf delivers a radiant and deeply collective track that transforms a moment of celebration into a universal experience: coming together, moving as one, and letting music unite us.
