Kamilya Jubran: Being Free in Music (Seismographic Sounds)

«I don’t have a typical day», says Palestinian singer Kamilya Jubran and laughs. In the podcast she talks about her biography, living as a musician in Europe, the power of music, and her song «Suite Nomade, Pt. 1». The collaboration with double bass player Sarah Murcia is based on poetry from World War I about the state of war and how it effects fragile communities. For Jubran a poem that hasn’t lost any of its topicality: «I look today how we live in Israel, in Palestine – and not only there, in many other countries – and I find that this is written today.» A podcast from the Norient exhibition Seismographic Sounds, produced by her longtime musical partner Werner Hasler.
