On December 30 you will hear prison songs, sneak peeks of some AZC songs and songs with guest Rudeboy.
Rudeboy
Patrick Tilon aka Rudeboy tells it like it is. Music is his path, he is averse to dogmas and he continues to emerge in new surprising constellations in which he lets his associative and poetic light shine. Rudeboy is one of the greats and that is why we are proud to be able to perform two songs from his oeuvre with him on December 30.

The band around top 10 hit producer / masterful keyboardist Abdul Rahim Al-Saleh (ΨΉΨ¨Ψ―Ψ§ΩΨ±ΨΩΩ Ψ§ΩΨ΅Ψ§ΩΨ) makes music from the Arabic tradition. Sparkling, hypnotic & super danceable. Sounds like Rizan Said, Altin Gun and Omar Souleyman in one live band with western dance influences.
ISMA IP
A phenomenon in Somali youth culture. Rapper ISMA IP built his fan base while fleeing the war as a refugee. We met him with De Niemanders in the AZC and made some mesmerizing songs with him. He is now building his live career and we are proud to welcome him as a solo act.

She found inspiration for her music from artists such as Lianne la Havas, Arlo Parks and Leon Bridges.

Omar Ka Orchestra
Omar Ka Orchestra plays the irresistible West African groove. This is no coincidence as Omar Ka grew up in Senegal and was raised in the rich Fulani music tradition. The orchestra is a group of friends. Traditional instruments such as the Kamale n’goni (African harp) and djembe, supplemented with drums, bass guitar, guitar and trumpet guarantee an irresistible sound!
El Magico Baobab
El MΓ‘gico Baobab is an authentic Colombian sound system, known as a ‘picΓ³.’ In Caribbean coastal cities such as Barranquilla, Cartagena and Santa Marta, picΓ³ sound systems bring vibrancy to the streets and contribute to the rich culture of these cities. Artist William Guitterez PeΓ±aloza created the signature hand-painted fluorescent design on this sound system that brings you a wide range of tropical sounds, from salsa to cumbia, champeta to highlife!

Sait GΓΌlsen
Former Turkish diplomat Sait Gulsen came to the Netherlands five years ago as a refugee. He is now a job coach, woodworker, director, storyteller, YouTube Dutch teacher and writer. During the ‘spoken words’ sessions in the basement, he talks about his adventurous escape story, which he describes as ‘even stranger than fiction’, told by a mysterious traveling companion.
In collaboration with Wintertuin and Vergezichten
We have added a new area to our Nacht Van De Niemander festival. On December 30, in the basement of Luxor Live, you can listen to Sait Gulsen talk about his adventurous flight story, which he describes as ‘even stranger than fiction’ and to Sally Jabour’s solo performance ‘Yours’, a musical theater solo based on a true story of a girl with PTSD, who travels around the world with her book.
Sally Jabour plays ‘Yours’
Syrian-born Sally Jabour plays a musical theater solo based on a true story of a girl with PTSD, with her book about traveling around the world. She writes and sings about everything, namely her own story. She comes to the Netherlands in search of a new beginning, a clean slate. But in this ‘land of the free’ she sits stretched out.
