Yasmina Joumblatt

For Yasmina Joumblatt, music is as much a new and special endeavor, as it is an instinct deeply rooted within herself and her heritage. Innately curious since her early years, Yasmina has followed many different yet interconnected paths, all driven by an open and aspiring mind. From one inspiring encounter to another, the Lebanese artist has delved into various domains: from the study of law and political science, to the practice of psychology and homeopathy. While these encounters may be distinct, they naturally come together into a harmonious whole bringing new ways and perspectives to nourish her intellectual curiosity.

 

After a lifetime of eclectic decisions and an eagerness to hone her own understanding, Yasmina Joumblatt’s journey has taken a new turn to music, marking her first reconnection with her profound, yet discreet, sensitivity. While her debut as a singer and songwriter gives voice to a talent she had concealed during her youth, it also represents an artist’s search of her own roots, as she prepares for her first ever performance.

 

Through the strong bond she has with her unique legacy, she has brought to life the music and talent of her great-grandmother, Asmahan, and her Arab heritage, bringing her deep emotional side into the light for the first time in her life.

The world-renowned composer Gabriel Yared recognized the value of this journey towards oneself and one’s deeply rooted origins. He decided to contribute to its revival by partnering with Yasmina. In her voice as much as in her lyrics, Yasmina Joumblat conveys a subtle combination of strength and gracefulness as she exposes her own vulnerability.
