KALTHOUM – THE ANNIVERSARY TOUR

November - December 2025

Ibrahim Maalouf presents KALTHOUM, a tribute tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of the album of the same name.

Following a triumphant world tour in 2016, KALTHOUM returns for an exclusive series of 30 concerts across France and Europe.

The gold-certified album is an ambitious reinterpretation of one of the most iconic masterpieces by the Egyptian diva: "Alf Leila Wa Leila" (A Thousand and One Nights). Surrounded by a virtuoso jazz quintet, Ibrahim reimagines this legendary work, infusing it with depth and modernity, shaped by his own artistic sensitivity.

With KALTHOUM, Ibrahim not only honored a musical icon but also a major feminist and political figure whose legacy continues to resonate today.

"KALTHOUM is a celebration of women who have left their mark on history. I wanted to pay tribute to a voice that shaped my childhood and remains a monument for the Arab people." – Ibrahim Maalouf

Acclaimed upon its release, KALTHOUM captivated critics:
"An impressive and captivating cultural translation." – The New York Times
"An extraordinary dream factory." – Télérama
"A major success." – Jazzmania

In November and December 2025, Ibrahim Maalouf will bring this tribute back to the stage for an exceptional tour. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the album and the 50th anniversary of the Star of the East's passing, this tour will grace prestigious venues, including Victoria Hall in Geneva, the Philharmonie of Luxembourg, and the Théâtre Femina in Bordeaux.
KALTHOUM promises to be the must-see musical journey of late 2025.
