Karma Kafe presents Valentines @ Souk Al Bahar Old Town,Dubai

Souk Al Bahar Old Town,DubaiClaude Challe’s C.V should be written with music notes only: music is his life; it gives the tempo of his adventures. This unique vibration is the main underlying theme. “Music is the only language that enables man to communicate with the sacred and with other beings, in emotion, desire and plenitude, without giving birth to violence, conflict, misunderstanding and dissonance.  It is the only true language of humanity, for beyond concepts and words lies transcendence, creativity and absolute movement. Music is the salt of life, the Vibe, the most beautiful Energy, the Verb.”This troubadour could have only come from one of those hot and sensual lands. Tunisia offered him his roots, his parents a heritage of mixed Jewish wisdom and Oriental magic. Claude arrived in France at 3 years old. Rabbinic school and Sacred Books. The school of Life forged his motto for him: “Too much is never enough”. At 19, Claude opened the first unisex and music hair salon in Paris. His nickname became “the man with the golden scissors”. The Parisian jet set was already queuing at the door. Shortly thereafter, this idealist decided to relise his hippy dream and left to share it  in a tribe in Sardinia. His route led him to India, Nepal, Indonesia…Go back home, and launch into the world of the Night.  He opened “Le Privé”, the first club where jet sets and artists were brought together. It proved to be a great success. Then “Le Centre Ville”, the first trendy restaurant in Les Halles, decorated by Starck,and “Les Bains” during the 80’s, renowned throughout the world and finally, the “ Buddha Bar”for the90’s. The creation of these exceptional events, such as the “Réveillon des mondes” with Radio Nova in Parc Floral at Vincennes, his weekly famous show “Magic” on the same radio station and his production of music documentaries, turned this Night professional into a magician of the Parisian parties and shortly thereafter, the international parties.

In less than fifty years, the changes in mentality and the progress of science and research have considerably transformed world society. A great deal more than the course of other centuries!One of the artists’ roles is to facilitate this evolution; Art is one of the major mediators of this mutation. The artist helps us become aware of the fact that we are all connected, interdependent and in constant relation with the rest of the universe. All of this leads us to developing qualities such as love and compassion, allowing us to find solutions that will lead people towards a greater happiness. Artists are “educators”; they are “visionaries”. There responsibility is considerable. They propagate movements, ideas and music that have to do with the Unconscious collective. As such, the seeds are sewn and their flowering inevitably follows. We should organize the emergence of this new universal consciousness in order to transmit the best of what is in each of us to future generations…”
