During the last decade Ibrahim Electric has been one of the most popular European instrumental groups. These 3 personal instrumentalists have - besides the popularity with this group – also made a name for themselves as some of the most striking on their respective instruments in Europe.
The danish trio Ibrahim Electric never disappoints. Their quirky – provocative – extroverted - original music sticks its fingers into just about every musical cookie jar, and sends cascades of pearls from the speakers. Ibrahim Electric’s style is not for the pedantic. There are elements of old fashioned soul/jazz – afrobeat - 60’s acid-power-beat - and of course the trio’s trademark: the fast, almost-punk passages in which the three musicians merge into one playful organism.
Each of the band-members possess an extremely high level of musicianship plus very large reserves of musical ENERGY ! That combination and their mutual love for playing music with each other for almost 20 years now, has made this unit extraordinary! Whether Niclas is playing a guitar solo in the spirit of Ali Farka Toure, Jeppe is playing a solo that leads your mind to the Hammond-icons of the 1960’s, or Stefan is playing a drum-solo with avantgarde elements, the one thing that overshines it all, is their mutual love for playing and performing, and the sheer intensity of their expression!
