Ibrahim Maalouf and Angélique Kidjo are both accomplished and storied artists in their own right, but their collaborations bring a new light to their artistry. It is no more apparent than on their 2022 release Queen of Sheba, a potent, grooving and emotional musical telling of the fabled tale of an Ethiopian queen who travels to Jerusalem to speak with King Solomon. It seamlessly fuses African and Middle Eastern rhythms and melodic themes with a story told through seven riddles in one of Angelique many languages, Yoruba. 
Geoff Stanfield chatted with Angélique and Ibrahim for this fun and insightful interview. Enjoy.

To say about this mix; Emotions come before action. 

Personally, when I started recording the mix, I was sad and emotional at first because this mix starts differently than the others. 

But then I found myself in the harmony of music. I personally loved the harmony between the parts and the overall result.

I think this set suits the ''Feel the Sound'' series very well. I hope you like it too. 

I hope music finds you and you find music in the new year. 

Stay well. Stay tuned!

Mix for 2025

Ensemble on marchait, ensemble on dansait
Sur les mêmes pas
Nos vies, nos histoires, dans la grande histoire
Sur les mêmes pas…

Where is the purpose in your life
Where is the truth
Do you remember your hopes Your dreams
They are no longer your own
This day is for living your own life
Don't let this world capture your heart
Your passion lost to a thousand themes
Surrendered to the screen
This is not a story
This is not a book this is your life
And this is not a play
Some TV show you've seen
This is real life
