Fr Karm Debattista mssp
is a member of the Missionary Society of St Paul. He composes and sings
Christian
songs in Maltese and English. Believing that music is the best medium to proclaim the message of
God, he composes songs to evangelize. His songs are essentially biblical with special
attention to the missionary or evangelical aspect of the Church. The style of the
music varies from pop, soft rock, dance and ballads to classical and a cappella. His
experience in missionary countries like Pakistan and Perù has its influence on some
of the songs, particularly on the most popular title track of his first album Fittixtek and
Ħolma from his third album.
Fr Karm’s compositions go back to his childhood, however, he
started recording
his songs professionally from 1996. He has released
nine albums, including two
Christmas albums. Besides, he composed other music for films, programs on
television
and
official songs for particular events.
This Christmas he is releasing a new album called Min hu dat-Tifel? This
comes after his first album in English that was launched at the World
Youth Day in Sydney last July. This Christmas album is basically a
traditional one, including popular traditional songs like O lejl ta'
Skiet, Noel, Noel, Ninni la tibkix iżjed, Ninġabru Nsara and
Armonija. It has10 tracks and as
all the previous cds it is recorded at
Tone Studios.
