About
Raised by her music-loving parents in Galilee, for 20 years she was part of Sabreen, the East-Jerusalem collective that toured internationally weaving Arabic folklore with jazz, rock, and other contemporary styles. Decades later, Jubran continues to inspire a new generation of musicians and audiences through her multi-disciplinary work, which designs 'the space to imagine an alternative sonic future', as described by The Wire.
"Her performance gave us the privilege of witnessing and attending a transcendent moment on stage, that we experienced as an audience. It felt like a deeply personal and intimate moment between the artist and herself." - Sandy Chamoun (read more: https://leguesswho.com/news/kamilya-jubran-lgw23)
