The Palestinian Trio Jibrans, consisting of brothers Samir, Wassam, and Adnan Jibrans, will perform at the closing ceremony of the 4th International Oud Festival in Tunis on October 24. The event will take place at the Opera House in the City of Culture, starting at 8 pm. The trio's performance is a collaboration with the Tahar Haddad Cultural Club and the Opera House, under the supervision of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and the Regional Cultural Commission in Tunis.
The Trio Jibrans has developed a unique musical experience over two decades, combining the sounds of three oud instruments to create a harmonious blend of traditional and modern music. Their performance is based on musical composition and exploration of the oud's sonic capabilities, creating pieces that go beyond traditional forms and allow for interaction between the three instruments.
The trio's experience is rooted in their Palestinian heritage, with Palestine serving as a source of inspiration and a symbol of identity. Their music intersects with questions of belonging, existence, and connection to the land. This dimension is reflected in several of their artistic projects, including their collaboration with the late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish.
The Trio Jibrans has presented their work on international stages and festivals, expanding their audience beyond the Arab world. They have benefited from a musical language that draws on their cultural roots while being open to different experiences and styles of expression. Their performance in Tunis is a return to their roots, where they will meet with their audience and present their experience, which has been shaped over years of work and international performances.
