Donna Khalifé Quintet
The Donna Khalifé Quintet is a project which brings together musicians from Lebanon and from France featuring: Pierre Tereygeol on guitar, Philippe Lopes de Sa on saxophones, Florent Corbou on electric bass, Khaled Yassine on drums and Donna Khalife on vocals and double bass.
It is the result of many musical and human encounters and a continuous research in music. The project intertwines written and free improvised music, in a coherent speech that resonates with the musicians' individual experiences.
The writing and the interpretation of the music were guided by two main ideas:
Unpredictability - in structure, meter, melody and harmony - which surprises the senses and incites emotions.
Free improvised music - free of labels and boundaries, inciting sincerity and humility. The most universal, transparent, and open way to approach music.
Heavy Dance, the first album recorded by the quintet with music written by Donna Khalifé, is released and available on all digital platforms (itunes, deezer, spotify, bandcamp, cdbaby, amazon....)
