Release Notes:
The story of the Joubran Trio's creation can be traced back some
ten years.
Samir, the eldest, started his solo career with his first two
albums, Taqaseem (1996) and Sou'fahm (2001).
For his third album, Tamaas, Samir invited his younger brother
Wissam to join him on his musical adventure. Randana, which came
out in 2005, is the trio's very first album.
Adnan, the youngest, had joined in with his older brothers to form
the first and only oud' trio known of to this date. With their
skillful, heart-wrenching improvisations that tell of Palestine,
the trio brings to bear harmony and sweetness, depth and joy. On
the stage, as their eyes meet, their instruments join together to
express that which the spoken word cannot.
The trio's repertory, made up of original creations and
magnificent improvisations, takes root in their knowledge of the
imposing culture of traditional maq?ms and their subtle
interpretations. The group was the big revelation at Langon's
Atypical Nights (Nuits Atypiques) festival, nomitated for the 2004
Django dOr awards, selected at the Womex 2004 and the Strictly
Mundial 2005, the trio has been living a musical adventure that is
taking it all over the world : the trio played before thousands at
the Festival of Nyon, was welcomed at Carnegie Hall in February
2006, and recently played at the Jerusalem festival (August 2007).
Maj?z, the Joubran Trio's second opus, is the arabic translation
of the word "metaphor" : just like that rhetorical technique, the
trio intended once more to carry its audience from one emotion to
another. For this second album, the trio brought in percussionist
Yousef Hbeisch. A new international tour, made all the richer for
his artistic contribution, is at the heart of their programme for
the 2007-2008 season. Between painful ecstasy and sumptuous
silence, the trio's overwhelming stage performances are both
precise and overflowing with emotions that take their audience's
breath away.
This new album reveals the maturity of a trio that took flight
with Randana, and whose Maj?z is an invitation to travel.
