Chamber Jazz@UT: Sarah Murcia & Kamilya Jubran
For over 15 years, the Palestinian singer Kamilya Jubran has been exploring together with the double bass player of French origin Sarah Murcia, the way in which her own culture and music tradition relate to the creativity and spontaneity of European jazz.
Kamilya Jubran discovered Arabic classical music with the help of her father, a music teacher and manufacturer of traditional Arabic instruments. At the age of 18, she moved to Jerusalem, where she continued her studies and, in parallel, began to sing and play along with Sabreen band. They recorded together four albums and performed numerous concerts. In 2002 she moved to Europe, and in 2014 she founded Zamkana, a non-profit organization that supports innovative artistic projects based on freedom of expression and secularism.
Sarah Murcia is considered one of France’s most important double bassists and composers of contemporary jazz. She has collaborated with an impressive array of French and international jazz musicians such as Steve Coleman, Louis Sclavis, Magic Malik, Benoit Delbeq, Jen Shyu, Samuel Ber, Taylor Ho Bynum, Olivier Pi, Benjamin Moussay, and many others.
