{"product_id":"le-trio-joubran_as-far_2011_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"As Fâr","description":"The three Joubran brothers are the heirs of an ancient family of luthiers from Palestine. The origin of the Trio dates back more than ten years, with the first records of Samir Joubran, Taqaseem (1996) and Sou'fahm (2001). For the third, Tamaas (2003), he is joined by his brother Wissam. Two years later, the arrival of Adnan Joubran on Randana marks the true birth of the Trio Joubran. It is followed by Majâz in 2007 and À l'ombre des mots with Mahmoud Darwich in 2009 (double CD-DVD). He is the one who showed them the way at the twilight of his life, telling them: Do not be Palestinian musicians. Be musicians of Palestine. Over the years, through records and concerts, their name has established itself on the chessboard of world music and even beyond. The group, based in Paris since 2005, is now globally recognized. It transcends tradition and has the ability to go beyond, without being confined to clichés. On Asfar, their new production, their fertile imagination and erudition allow the three Galileans to weave unprecedented patterns, variations that captivate the listener and take them beyond any notion of defined territory. With their faithful partner, percussionist Youssef Hbeisch, they go even further. As far in English, asfar \"the journey\" in Arabic. The play on words has guided their steps. They have traveled a lot, exchanged with other artists (from Chkrrr to Rodrigo and Gabriela) and are now immersed in other cultures. That is why, like the best jazz trios, they explore the entire range of sensations, from the enchanting silence of a single suspended note to vast improvisations, from phrases with flamenco accents to rhythms close to groove. No question of limiting themselves, they open the focal length wide, even inviting the Tunisian Dhafer Youssef on two tracks; no words, just undulations of frequencies. No vain virtuosity, the challenge is spirituality. The oud is not the central subject. Music is our axial project, they explain. No roadmap, just a direction, open to more infinity. AsFar is all of this, a journey more than a project, a crossing through their world of music, a breath-hold in the meanders of their most intimate thoughts. Close your eyes. Safe travels.","brand":"Le Trio Joubran","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57847804494168,"sku":null,"price":20110303.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/le-trio-joubran_as-far_2011_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
