🎻 The Artists 🎻

Haunting tales of love, loss and longing, Nathalie Nahai’s music draws on folkloric roots to weave stories that captivate and crack open the heart. Having recorded two albums in the US, this multi-instrumentalist is currently working on her third and performing at intimate gatherings in London and Barcelona, her adoptive home. You can follow her on Instagram @nathalienahai.art

Nayar Collective make music borne out of deep friendship and a shared belief in its power to provide solace and connection in a fractured world. Founded by singer-songwriter Vedantha Kumar (August and After), it unites a diverse set of skilled musicians, including classical violinist Inês Delgado (Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) and jazz multi-instrumentalist Oliver Rutherford (Makam Salam). Together, they craft heart-wrenching, part-improvised arrangements, with tender yet soaring vocals reflecting on themes of hope, belonging, and spiritual longing.

"Nayar has achieved something rare: a sound that feels timeless yet fresh, deeply introspective yet universally resonant." — We Write About Music
