Kamilya Jubran was born in Akka in the State of Israel, to Palestinian parents. Elias Jubran, Kamilya’s father, an authentic instrument maker and a music teacher; was her first source of classical Arabic musical education. In Jerusalem and for twenty years, Kamilya was Sabreen’s lead song performer, and player of Oud, Qanoon, and other oriental instruments. From 1982 to 2002, Kamilya along with Sabreen represented the voice of resistance; struggle for freedom, and a deep and dynamic artistic-political process that created a new style of a modern Arabic song.

Presented in collaboration with Ma3azef & Labyrinths. The performance will be held in The Mosaic Rooms main gallery space, where attendees will be surrounded by paintings, etchings and works on paper by leading Syrian artist Marwan.
