Chicago Tribune, Mini-Biography >>
Samir, Wissam and Adnan Joubran were born and raised in Nazareth, and their music is steeped in Palestinian tradition. All three brothers play the oud, an ancient stringed instrument found throughout the Arabic world, and their original compositions draw on classical Arabic forms. Their melodies are nonetheless quite accessible; after all, the surf-rock classic "Miserlou," which is briefly quoted, was based on a Middle Eastern tune. But the trio brings to its material a passion and willingness to experiment that is entirely contemporary, spurring each other on to create intricate and suspenseful improvisations.
