Michel Sajrawy

Born: November 8

Michel Sajrawy is a guitarist, composer and producer from Nazareth, Israel, whose distinctive musical language brings together Middle Eastern Music, jazz, fusion and contemporary sounds. His work explores the meeting point between the modal traditions and melodic character of Middle Eastern Music and the harmonic, rhythmic and improvisational language of jazz.

A central element of Sajrawy’s music is his innovative approach to performing quarter tones on the fretted electric guitar. Rather than adding extra frets or using a fretless instrument, he developed his own technique of producing quarter-tone intervals through controlled string bending. This allows him to preserve the freedom of the conventional guitar for jazz chords, lines and improvisation while incorporating the microtonal language of Middle Eastern Music. The technique gives his playing a distinctive expressive quality, combining the nuances of Middle Eastern melodic tradition with the character and flexibility of the electric guitar.

Agneya Chikte

Agneya Chikte is an award-winning Indo-Canadian percussionist and composer whose debut album AGNEYA (2026) blends South Asian rhythmic cycles with contemporary improvisation, cinematic textures, and global grooves. His music reflects his diasporic identity and belief in rhythm as a shared language, inviting audiences into a sound world that is groove-driven, meditative, and expansive.

Born and raised in Western India, Agneya grew up at the intersection of tradition and modernity. His mornings were steeped in the intricacies of Hindustani music and tabla compositions, while his evenings were soundtracked by early 2000s rock and hip-hop on MTV. This juxtaposition of ancient rhythmic systems and global pop culture became the foundation of his artistic perspective: rhythm not as a fixed category, but as an endlessly flexible, living force.
