Discography

Majâz, 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 Majâz is an invitation to travel.

You can listen some extract (powered by believedigital.fr) :

United here for their first album, the Joubran brothers' music is thrilling and mournful all at once. Interspersed with moments of silence, their melodies tell of sadness and hope and, above all, of the desire to give voice to Palestine.

The chords of the Oud start vibrating, and then the music spills forth; this is truly an album which was composed by the pains of the heart and the pains of the soul.

The musical score of Samir and Wissam Joubran's album is composed of human emotions. The two luths meet, speak to each other, and sing in unison of Palestine.

The album's musical sincerity is nothing less than overwhelming.

Track 1. Khiyanat Mariha

Samir Joubran’s first album, Sou’fahm, symbolizes the musician’s bewilderment with the political situation. 

The notes, the silences and the melody join together to ask Why? 

This premier production was born of pain, and, more importantly still, the desire to understand.
