Adrian Younge - Live at Le Guess Who? 2025

Palestinian singer, composer and flutist Nai Barghouti collaborates with the 23-piece Amsterdam Sinfonietta for the opening performance of Le Guess Who? 2025

About
Starting her musical adventure at just 14 years old with concerts in Ramallah and Cairo, Nai Barghouti grew up to be an exceptional virtuosa, performing at renowned venues and theaters around the globe. Drawing from Arab legendary singers - as well as tapping into blues, jazz, classical Indian and Brazilian music - she developed her own unique vocal technique NaiStrumentation: a layered ornamental technique for using the voice as a musical instrument. 

Founded in 1988, Amsterdam Sinfonietta consists of 23 top-level musicians who play together as one. Over the years, the orchestra has developed into the premier string orchestra of the Netherlands and a world-class ensemble, continuously championing innovating its genre.
