Depuis dix ans, le trio de oud des frères Joubran enchante le monde avec ses créations et sa virtuosité. Pour son premier disque en solo, Adnan (oud, percussions, voix) a réuni trois partenaires venus de cultures différentes, Prabhu Edouard, tablas, Valentin Mussou, violoncelle, Javier Sanchez, cajon, palmas ; une palette sonore originale renforcée par la présence du flutiste saxophoniste Jorge Pardo, compagnon de route de Paco de Lucia. Agrégeant subtilement trois traditions, trois aires géographiques (Proche Orient, Espagne et Inde), les neuf compositions d’Adnan manifestent une véritable science des climats à la fois délicats et puissants. Si elles conservent leur enracinement dans la tradition moyen-orientale, ces rêveries personnelles intimes s’ouvrent subtilement sur le monde - Mondomix
Le benjamin de la fratrie célèbre palestinienne débride son imaginaire romantique du côté des rythmiques indiennes et flamencas. Sur disque, ses compositions subtiles et ses rêveries audacieuses font mouche. On lui fait confiance pour donner corps à ce répertoire sensible sur scène.

Discography
Solo
BORDERS BEHIND is Adnans debut solo album. It is the fruit of two years of work on individual compositions and experiments, in which a new musical identity based on traditional oriental music mixed with other cultures such as Indian, Flamenco, Jazz and Classical music is born.
For his debut album, Adnans oud virtuosity has been excelled by his collaborations with Prabhu Edouard, who brings the essence of India with his delicate touch on the tables. Valentin Mussou on the cello, who adds the sense of Jazz and Classical music. Cajon and Palmas played by Javier Sanchez accenting the Flamenco passionate rhythms. And finally, inviting the legendary Flamenco flute and saxaphone player, Jorge Pardo, who made a remarkable career and finger print with Paco De Lucia. With this fine array of musical diversity, Adnan Joubran flies beyond the borders of these cultures and traditions.
With Le Trio Joubran
Alongside his new project BORDERS BEHIND, Adnan forms LE TRIO JOUBRAN with his two brothers Wissam & Samir Joubran, who during the past ten years had released five albums, and recently celebrated their First Ten Years boxet at the OLYMPIA in Paris.
