World Music, Jazz, Popular Music
Le Trio Joubran was founded by the Joubran brothers after Samir, the elder sibling, outgrew his solo career. The popular five-person Palestinian group, who are making their Müpa Budapest and Hungarian debut, released their first album in 2005, and have long enjoyed deserved acclaim on the world music scene. The group's play - which features three oud instruments - creates a truly striking and varied atmosphere, encompassing both ancient and more modern variations of traditional Arab music. They have written music for numerous films, and are now touring with their brand-new sixth album. One of the tracks was co-written by Roger Waters, while Brian Eno is known to be a huge fan of their work.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
