Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler Arab World tour كميليا جبران وفرنر هاسلر يعلنان عن جولة بمصر وفلسطين

March 31, 2020

“There is something genuinely distinctive, amorphous, and mysterious about Wa, the extraordinary new collaboration between Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler.” The Quietus

After  the release of  Wa , their third album together as a duo,  Kamilya Jubran  (text, oud & vocals), musician, composer and one of the most revered figures for today’s younger generation of experimental and alternative Arabic music scenes, and long standing musical partner, composer, accomplished trumpet player and electronic musician  Werner Hasler  (trumpet & electronics) will give a series of concerts in Egypt and Palestine in January and February 2020.

In Wa (Arabic for “and”), Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler continue to interrogate their listening and their expression, their research and their desires, to unravel a musical universe of possibilities;  “a unison of timbres, cultures complementing, the complicity of verses, and modes and languages confronting each other”  in the duo’s own way of communicating respective origins and contemporaneity. Lyrical, within a sound full of contrast and ornamentation, they pursue an expansion of their repertoire with imaginative interpretation and improvisation.

Maurice Louca’s FERA OUT 30 MAY 2025 on Simsara Records El Taalab lead track OUT NOW on all platforms Hypnotic polyrhythms play a central role on Fera, creating the pulse for a sound that’s rich in acoustic tonality and lively energy. Louca uses custom-made, microtonal guitars to explore nuanced phrasings, and his languid interplay with violin, synthesizer, and other instruments lead to moments of vivid beauty. This wild and adventurous album that Egyptian artist Maurice Louca wrote over a four-year period takes its title from the Latin root for the word feral, and has its origins in a solo set that Louca first developed in 2019; the compositions eventually took their final shape when he recorded them in a Cairo studio in 2024 with a group of longtime collaborators and guests.
