After a beautiful performance at Rewire 2026, Paris-Based Egyptian composer, writer, and singer Abdullah Miniawy returns to The Hague for Rewire x Korzo #25. Performing as part of a trio, made up of him and trombonists Robinson Khoury and Jules Boittin, Miniawy brings his multidimensional music to life, inspired by jazz elements and Egyptian soundscapes. Touching and minimalistic horn-based instrumentation meets the poetry and song emerging from Miniawy, whose voice takes on multiple roles in the music: from humble witness to loud crier of truths to angelic song-weaver. On a foundation of ambient jazz, elements of crumbling noisy production wrapped in swathing robes of delay and reverb, decaying textures, and uncertain sounds flow into this sensitive, emotive music.

One of the most engaging albums released so far this year, Duori is a collaborative album from Heith – artist and musician Daniele Guerrini, a co-founder of adored Italian underground label Haunter Records – and Tarawangsawelas, a duo from Bandung who reenvision a contemporary version of Tarawangsa, a form of sacred music from Sundanese West Java. The album is spiritual and ephemeral while also remaining gritty and grounded; chants and acoustic instruments are tethered to outbreaks of noise and electronics. While their work together is led by moments of proximity and distance, arranged and recorded over a long period of time, since they met in Bandung in 2017, their live shows sees the artists join together in the flesh and blood to expand their experimental sounds into new sonic realms.

The illusory music of musician, home-recorder, and NTS Radio resident Dagmar Zuniga projects a ghostly picture. Zuniga joins the lineage of softly sung folk musicians building dark, mysterious worlds through very stripped back means. She summons the forward-thinking experimentation in folk songforms that Norma Tanega and Linda Perhacs were stalwarts of, and couples that with the foggy, psychedelic, DIY sensibilities of early Brian Jonestown Massacre and Beat Happening. Awash with tape hiss, her hypnagogic folk hallucinations sound as if they emerge from some plane between this world and the next – from some place between the conscious world and what awaits in dreams. Her haunted dream pop melodies for voice and guitar warble, crackle, and burn ever so bright. Zuniga's phantasmal songs will be performed with the accompaniment of her band at Rewire x Korzo #25.
