As a cellist she has performed live with FKA Twigs and Stars of the Lid. Chua also takes part in Our Voices at Ultima.

Rasha Nahas is an alternative rock singer and guitarist from Palestine. Shecurrently lives in Berlin after a spell in Haifa. Her songs, sung in Arabic, are full of honest lyrics and sense of nostalgic longing, as well as contrasts betweenthe urban and rural experience.

Based in Munich, Germany, vocalist Enji combines jazz with traditional folk and throat-singing from her native Mongolia. Her music evokes dreams, captures breathtaking views, or recounts village visits, all unfolding through rhythmic Mongolian melodies. Her third album, Ulaan, came out in 2023.
