Trio Joubran 10 Oct.17 (Tues)

Since 2002, their reputation has continued to grow: from the Olympia in Paris to Carnegie Hall in New York to the United Nations, they have played to sold-out crowds. Accompanied on stage by compatriot and percussionist Youssef Hbeisch, their compositions leave room for their exceptional improvisational talent, and all it takes is just a glance toward the other two for their three ouds to become one.
The Trio Joubran also celebrate their country by setting the words of celebrated poet Mahmoud Darwich to music (À l’Ombre des mots/In the Shadow of Words). Because this is as much about music as it is about Palestine. Listening to the Trio Joubran is plunging into the soul of a people. Egypt had Oum Kalthoum. Lebanon has Fayrouz. Palestine now has the Trio Joubran.
