Explore the full festival here.

KUNTARI is the collaborative project of musicians Tesla Manaf and Rio Abror, born a desire to break from conventional jazz structures. The duo coined their own genre-descriptor, “primal-core”: a sound built from percussive guitar, roto toms, field recordings and voice. “Elements of sludge metal, noise, and post-hardcore, scrape against traditional folk music and jazz, and gesture towards sound art, 20th century minimalism and dark ambient.”

Abdullah Miniaway Trio’s performances unfold with quiet intensity. The trio explores Egyptian vocal traditions within a sonic intersection of baroque counterpoint, extended brass techniques and electronics. “Their practice builds on years of transforming MIDI fragments, harmonies and digital textures into physical, acoustic performance an ongoing process of experimentation”
