The Joubran Trio

The Trio Jubran, three brothers from Nazareth presently based in Paris, presents richly original acoustic compositions. They come from a family deeply rooted in music for several generations. The father is a oud maker very famous in the Arab world while the mother is a singer. The elder brother and oud player Samir started a solo career and released three solo albums before bringing in his two brothers, Wissam and Adnan, to form a trio in 2005, the first, and probably still only, oud trio on the musical scenes. In the same year they released an album called “Randana” and have recently released their second work, “Majaz”.

The Joubran Trio live performances are much appreciated for the extensive use of improvisation by the artists. The three brothers have performed in many festivals throughout the world, including Womex in Germany and the Festival of Nyon in France. They played at Carnegie Hall and at the Jerusalem Festival in 2007. They were invited by Daniel Baremboim to do a concert together in Spain and even played together with Massive Attack in a fundraising concert at the Brixton Academy.

The Franco-German television chain ARTE produced a documentary about the group.
