Al-Awda Presents Internationally-Acclaimed Palestinian Oud
Musicians Le Trio Joubran in a Five US City Concert Tour!
Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition is pleased
to announce that we will be hosting a five US city concert tour of
internationally-acclaimed Palestinian Oud musicians Le Trio Joubran.
Accompanied by virtuoso percussionist Yousef Hbeisch, Le Trio Joubran will be
performing April 8 to April 13, 2011 in San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Cleveland and Houston. For details and pricing, see http://al-awda.org/trio.html
Background
Le Trio Joubran are unique. They are the world's only
professional oud trio. The three young Palestinian brothers, Samir, Wissam and
Adnan, are the sons of a master oud craftsman from the Palestinian city of
Nazareth. Samir, the eldest of the three at 36, is a stunning virtuoso with a
tremendous international reputation. He was inspired to form the oud trio after
listening to contemporary flamenco and jazz fusion guitarists. He is joined by
Wissam, aged 27, who was apprenticed to his father and became the first
stringed instrument maker from the Arab World to graduate from the Antonio
Stradivari Institute in Italy. Wissam hand-crafted the three brother
instruments played by the trio in the Joubran family's tradition. Adnan, the
youngest at 24, is considered a prodigy by his brothers and his full musical
talent is just emerging.
The oud, or Arab lute, is the voice of Palestinian tradition
and classical Arab music. Its ancient origins date back as far as Mesopotamia
and Pharonic Egypt; it is a distant cousin of Russia's balalaika and Japan's
biwa, and the forefather of the European lute, brought to Western Europe by the
Troubadours via Moorish Spain. Considered the king of instruments in the Arab
world, the Oud remains popular today throughout North Africa and the Near and
Middle East.
The Joubran brothers proudly bring an awareness of their
Palestinian culture and identity to the stage. However, once they start to
play, the Oud's transcendent quality acts to bring people together, so that any
divisions of culture, race and language cease to matter. The trio's music can
remind the listener that beyond the horrifying headlines coming out of occupied
Palestine, is a beautiful country with a rich cultural heritage - and hope.
Between musical ecstasy and sumptuous silence, Le Trio
Joubran carry their audience from elation to melancholy. Their overwhelming
stage performances are both precise and overflowing with emotions that will
take your breath away - Don't miss it!
Join us!
