Renowned for her powerful voice and deeply emotive performances, Nai seamlessly blends traditional Arabic Tarab, contemporary Arabic music, folk music, Jazz, and classical Western music, creating a captivating and unique sound that transcends borders and stirs souls. Nai’s concert promises to be an enthralling experience that celebrates resilience, hope, joy, and the richness of Palestinian culture.

Nai Barghouti is an award-winning Palestinian singer, composer, and flutist. From her first concerts at the age of 14 through her packed concerts at the London Jazz Festival, Edinburgh International Festival, the United Nations in New York, and in renowned theaters in Paris, Washington, Toronto, Detroit, Montreal, Istanbul, Amsterdam, London, Casablanca, Rabat, Tunis, Kuwait, and Beirut, the Jerusalem-born artist has been praised as a “classical diva” and an “exceptional virtuosa.” She explored the nexus between Arabic Tarab music and Jazz, eventually inventing NaiStrumentation, a layered ornamental technique for using the voice as a musical instrument.
