Kamilya Jubran & Werner Hasler: ‘WA’ 

This extraordinary duo unravels a musical universe all their own. With complementary timbres and cultures, they delve into a wealth of verses, modes and languages. Presenting their fifth throw WA (2019, Everest Records), they continue the exploration of new sonic and phonetic territories.

Palestinian oed player Kamilya Jubran is one of the most respected figures of the contemporary experimental and alternative Arabic music scene within her generation. She collaborates with her longtime musical partner; Swiss trumpeter and electronics wizard Werner Hasler.
