During this special ADE edition of Bookshop Invites, Nigerian musician Lady Donli, Brazilian producer and DJ Raiany Sinara, and a special guest (tbc) come together for an evening exploring music, memory, and heritage.

This intimate gathering unfolds through performance and conversation, creating space for the artists to share their practices, perspectives, and ways of working. One artist opens with a performance, followed by a conversation that goes deeper into the ideas and experiences behind the work. The evening closes with a performance by another artist, creating an encounter shaped by listening, exchange, and response.

 

This evening is part of the Exchanges program by the Prince Claus Fund, with support of the City of Amsterdam.

Lady Donli

Lady Donli is a Nigerian musician who blends contemporary sounds with African musical traditions. Through her music, she creates her own artistic world where enjoyment, freedom, and critical social observation come together. With albums such as Enjoy Your Life and Pan African Rockstar, she grew into an international live act. She also founded The Common Room: a DJ and vinyl project centered on African records, where listening together and collecting come together. In 2024, she received the Prince Claus Seed Award.

Van bovenaf gezien ligt voor The Bookshop Invites ADE een vrouw met lange locs op een gele leren bank, in een lichtgeel gedessineerd jasje over een gestreepte trui; ze steunt haar getatoeëerde vuist tegen haar wang en kijkt omhoog in de camera.

Raiany Sinara

Raiany Sinara is a Brazilian musician, producer, and DJ who brings together electronic music with Afro-Brazilian rhythms, memory, and cultural heritage. In her practice, she explores how sound can feel contemporary while still carrying an entire archive of memories with it. Sinara often collaborates with artists and communities who aren't always given space as a matter of course. Raiany also received the Prince Claus Seed Award in 2024.
