About this concert
Op 16 november geven singer-songwriters Celine Cairo en Nina June voor het eerst samen een exclusief concert in de Grote Kerk in de Rijp.
Cairo en June zijn jarenlange vriendinnen en delen een voorliefde voor melancholische songs die je recht in het hart raken. Celine schrijft deze op de gitaar, Nina op de piano. Beide vrouwen verhuisden van Amsterdam naar de Zaanstreek, maar hun muziek reist al jaren de grens over. Met miljoenen streams op Spotify en het gebruik van hun muziek in internationale series en films, is menigeen verbaasd dat de vrouwen gewoon uit Nederland komen. Samen, en los van elkaar, reisden ze meerdere keren naar Londen om muziek te schrijven en op te nemen.
Nina is geïnspireerd door artiesten als Annie Lennox, Tracy Chapman en Ane Brun. Celine door Sade, Lauryn Hill en Eva Cassidy. Krachtige vrouwen die hun kwetsbaarheid durven tonen en de grote thema’s in het leven niet schuwen. Tijdens dit concert zullen de twee singer-songwriters hun eigen songs in akoestische setting vertolken, maar natuurlijk ook de kans grijpen om samen te zingen. Ze worden begeleid door hun vaste muzikanten op gitaar, piano en cello. Verwacht een intiem, akoestisch luisterconcert in de prachtige Grote Kerk in de Rijp.

Celine Cairo Biography
Celine Cairo’s songs should come with a warning. From first listen, the Dutch seductress reels you in with bewitching vocals and spell-like atmospherics. Delve deeper and poetic depictions of the battle between darkness and light, of nature vanishing from the planet, of womanhood and her own struggles with mental health will have you hopelessly hooked.
She made her debut with 2013’s Follow EP, produced by Ninja Tune’s Fink. She supported acts like Asgeir, Dodie and Haevn and started touring internatonally. For debut album Free Fall, she decamped to L.A. to record with Grammy-nominated producer Bill Lefler (Ingrid Michaelson, Laura Jansen). The acclaimed album won her fans around the world, a Dutch music award and was playlisted on Radio 2. After Free Fall, Celine spent two years writing, travelling and immersing herself in nature while waiting for the pieces to fall into place. The album’s stunning first single, Bird Song, released at the start of this year, captures that period. “I remember Amsterdam being greener and having many more birds when I grew up. I think about how we're losing touch with the natural world a lot.”
As ever, Celine’s band were key to the recordings. “They’re all close friends who’ve been with me for years and although my act bears my name, we really are a band. The production highlights the live sound to make the transition to the stage more natural.”
