CD A l'ombre des mots Le Trio Joubran
"À l'ombre des mots" ("In The Shadow Of The Words") features the recording and the shooting of the concert given on September 19th 2008 at the Cultural Palace, in Ramallah, Palestine, on the memorial day of Mahmoud Darwich, forty days after his death.
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 (2005 - world village) and then Majâz (2007 - world village) are the trio's very first albums. 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 musical virtuosity of the three musicians receives universal acclaim, and the trio is quickly invited to play with numerous other artists, in particular with great poets of the likes of Mahmoud Darwish.
The trio comments: "Mahmoud Darwich was as sensitive to the notes of our ouds as our ears and hearts to his poetry. We accompanied him in more than thirty shows in Europe and the Arab world. The last one was in France, in Arles, this beautiful city where we decided to begin a common work and where our music would accompany the variations of his voice, in strength and weakness, certainty and doubt, life and death... When he passed away, we decided to realize this project and the accompanying became a tribute... The first was in Ramallah, where his voice reached us, strong, dominant, and flew over our tears and the suffering of Palestine... and who better than Darwich can honour Darwich himself, absent and yet so present."
