Rafik Baladi's "Serenade to the (Mother) Queen" is a rich ode full of wispy soft notes and tremendous heart. "On My Way Back Home" has a similar haunting quality about it, which seems to be a calling card trend of this artist. Soundtrack music is much more difficult than one would imagine and Mr. Baladi shows his expertise in tackling tough choices. Other highlights on the 15 song collection include "Oh Love", a heartfelt instrumental ballad recorded with tenderness - A&R Select, Member Services Dept., West Hollywood, California (Extract)

Bio
Born in Port Said, Egypt in 1951 of Greek and Egyptian origins I traveled the world and witnessed endless stories of social cohesion and others of intolerance that affected me and that led me to interpreting them through music creation, novel writing and stage acting.
Holder of BA in Mass Communication and Modern Drama; a 30 years scholar of music, music theory, harmony and piano and a composer of music for life themes following the master of modern drama: Constantine Stanislavski's artistic endeavour!
I am the writer of my own film-score, performer and home-producer. I studied music, harmony, theory, counterpoint, piano and composition with my second mother Signora Olympia Rossy, in Cairo, for 20 years. I immigrated to Canada in 1987 and have lived in it till this day. Please visit samples of my score in my web-site: www.filmmusicmontreal.com
Career-wise, I am a 38 years veteran of hotels and airlines roaming the industry in 5-stars hotels' from kitchen on to budgeting and to promoting international tourism. I am a curious contemplator of this interesting world of lovely and ugly people and a passionate interpreter of life revealing my thoughts through the creation of deep nostalgic and descriptive tunes, while performing on stage or by writing novels and short stories. My nostalgic biography: Jasmines From Egypt Branches Forever, says it all . Please visit my web-site: www.filmmusicmontreal.com.
Thtoughoutmy life, I discovered that I owe my love for music, films and theatre to all those I met and who influenced me: My beloved music teacher Olympia Rossi, Olga and Xaven Katchadourian, piano concertists in Alexandria, Egypt and cousins of the master musician: Aram Katchadourian- creator of Ballet Spartacus, Helmut Rilling (Director of Bach Choir in Colone, Germany), Charles Aznavour, Betty Davies, David Niven. John Finch, Peter Finch, Dalida, Sir Richard Attenborough and others.
Over the years, I was blessed by the opportunity to perform my own music and that of other baroque, classical and romantic masters on the piano for thousands of audiences, across the globe. I did the same with acting on live stage for major productions by Shakespeare, Chekhov, Ibsen, Pirandello, Miller and others. I was overwhelmed with tears each time my acting or music performances yielded, trophies, applause or press reviews. Please visit Testimonials on my web-site: www.filmmusicmontreal.com.
My music emerges from people I lived amongst around the globe, their stories, their lives, their hopes and aspirations.
