LE TRIO JOUBRAN
Le Trio Joubran is a Palestinian oud trio formed of three brothers – Samir, Wissam and Adnan – originally from Nazareth and now touring and performing worldwide, along with master percussionist Youssef Hbeisch. Coming from a family steeped Palestine’s rich musical history (their father Hatem Mbadda Joubran, arguably the greatest oud maker in the Arab world, and their mother Ibtisam Hanna Joubran, a singer, both come from long lines of musicians), the brothers have had a glittering career on the international scene. Their repertoire not only pays homage to this four thousand year old instrument but also takes inspiration from jazz and flamenco and is filled with rich, subtle melodies and magnificent improvisations. Hearing is believing. Quite simply, Le Trio Joubran is one of the most exciting instrumental groups in the world.
‘Wistful and brooding, yet always ravishingly tasteful….There are few enough oud (Arab lute) ensembles in the world and none that come close to Trio Joubran for imaginative compositions and intuitive interplay….the ultimate masters of the oud ensemble.’
– Songlines Magazine
‘The trio of intensely inspired and passionate musicians manages to triumph with a music that both moves the soul and makes the heart race with its fearless brilliance and command.’
– John Adams, Composer in Residence at Carnegie Hall
‘With mysterious, seductive eloquence, they communicate profound ideas about history, musical evolution, and the beautiful aesthetics of Arabic music, still far too little-known in Western societies.’
– NPR’s All Things Considered
‘A splendid show from the oud-wieldi
ng brothers from Nazareth. The oud must be one of the most beautiful instruments in the world, both in appearance and sound, and this concert was a real showcase. The trio's on-stage communication both with each other and the audience was remarkable, and the mellow sound they coaxed from their instruments was gorgeous.’
– Charlie Gillett
‘Listening to these master musicians from a long lineage of musicians and master instrument makers, it's difficult not to hope for peace. And it's difficult not to believe that peace is possible when beautiful and tranquil music flows from the hands of three Palestinian brothers.’
– The Whole Music Experience
‘The three Joubran brothers have always played their ouds like an oncoming thunderstorm: an ominous rumble illuminated by flashes of lightning-fast virtuosity.’
– The Financial Times
‘three of the most original musicians in the Arab world’
– The Guardian
