Le Trio JoubranMajaz
“The Paris-based Joubran brothers—Samir, Wissam, and Adnan—come from a long line of Palestinian luthiers and musicians. Born in Nazareth, the brothers decided to form an ensemble to do with the oud what other respected world and jazz trios have done with the guitar, featuring instruments that Wissam has built himself. Presented with support from the French Music Export Bureau.” (Rock Paper Scissors)_

Grupo Los Santos
Lo Que Somos Lo Que Sea
“Grupo los Santos is a quartet of American musicians who, through a mixture of jazz with Afro-Cuban and Brazilian styles, are creating a new soul in the music of New York. Lo Que Somos Lo Que Sea (What We Are What Will Be), the group's second album, is first and foremost a jazz album. These are simply jazz musicians who share a passion for the Latin musics including son, rumba and bossa nova. But make no mistake, they are certainly capable of holding down a Latin (and any other sort of) groove.” (Jazz Near You)
