LE TRIO JOUBRAN

Majâz

Boston Debut :: co-presented with World Music

“This is contemporary oud playing at its finest inventive, quixotic and arresting–and it should appeal equally both to die-hard lute-ophiles and those approaching Arab music for the first time.”—Songlines

Direct descendants from a Palestinian family of ‘oud makers and players for four generations, Le Trio Joubran creates intricate and seductively eloquent original compositions that are filled with magnificent improvisation and technical virtuosity. For this exceptional concert, the three brothers Samir, Wissam and Adnan along with master percussionist Yousef Hbeisch, perform a special tribute to late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, with whom the trio collaborated for more than 12 years.
