CHRISTIAN FENNESZ

Austrian electronic artist Fennesz is mainly known for his collaborations with Sparklehorse, David Sylvian and Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. He edits the guitar with his laptop, creating a hypnotizing sound. He won the Prix Ars Electronica Award for digital music, confirming his status as one of the most influential artists of the genre.

KAMILYA JUBRAN

Palestinian singer Kamilya Jubran adds a modern touch to Eastern music and demonstrates how tradition and avant-garde go hand in hand. She is considered one of the most original vocalists in the Arab music world.

ARIFA

When musicians with roots in Turkey, Iraq and Romania join forces to make beautiful music, expect unusual results. Arifa takes you on a trip through Indian ragas, flamenco, Persian tradition, Western classical music and Anatolian rhythms, performed on instruments such as the oud, darbuka, bendir and erbeni. “This debut album equals Anouar Brahem’s best work in its refined beauty.” – 5-star review in De Volkskrant
