Kamilya Jubran
Palestanian singer
Kamilya Jubran (Arabic: كميليا جبران; born 1962) is a Palestinian singer, songwriter, and musician.
Early life
Kamilya Jubran was born in Rameh in 1962 to Palestinian Israeli parents. Her father Elias is a music teacher and maker of traditional Palestinian instruments such as the oud. Her brother Khaled is also a musician. Jubran and her family were featured in Telling Strings (2007), a documentary about generational differences and cultural identity in Palestine.
She moved to Jerusalem in 1981 to study social work at the Paul Baerwald School of Social Work and Social Welfare at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It was there that Jubran discovered her identity, history and heritage. After being introduced to Said Murad, the founder of musical group Sabreen (patient ones), Jubran joined the group in 1982 (two years after its foundation) and became the only Israeli Arab member who had been born in Israel. In 2002, she moved to Europe.
She has described herself as "deeply atheist".
