Hailed throughout the Arab world, Trio Joubran is led by Palestinian ud virtuoso Samir Joubran. Samir performs in duo or trio formations with his younger brothers: Wissam Joubran and Adnan Joubran. Samir and his brothers Wissam and Adnan are the sons of a master luthier, who is the son of a master luthier; a family steeped in the 4,000-year saga of the oud, ancestor of the guitar. Le Trio Joubran was born when elder brother Samir listened to the jazz/rock/Flamenco Guitar Trio of Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucia, and John McLaughlin. The brothers were born in the Galilean city of Nazareth in a family with a strong musical tradition. Their mother sang in a Muashahat (a classical Arabic poetry/music form) ensemble and their father is an oud crafter known throughout the Arab world. The three sons perform on ouds built by Wissam, who was the first Arabic luthier to graduate from the Stradivarius Institute in Cremona, Italy, where he mastered the construction of violins and ouds.The trio?s first CD together, Randana, was the first meeting of an oud trio. ?We wanted to experiment composing for three ouds,? says Samir. ?It was a challenge and the music was experimental. Through our touring we gained confidence which makes the music on Majaz different. It?s more accessible to a wider public; it?s more clear, transparent, and joyful but with sadness in the background, and yet proud. We introduce percussion in a very subtle way, sensitive and present. Three ouds are there with three different personalities, but together.? Both albums are on the Joubran?s own label, Randana, Palestine?s first recording label. |
