Biography
Le Trio Joubran formed in 2004 in Nazareth with brothers Samir (oud), Wissam (oud), and Adnan (oud), soon joined by percussionist Youssef Hbeisch. They are widely regarded as the first professional oud trio and have built a reputation for intimate, maqam-informed improvisations and textural crossovers. Their music blends traditional Arabic maqam with jazz-inflected harmony and subtle world-music textures, creating a sound that is both ancient and contemporary.
