ANCESTRAL SOUNDS ~ An Annie’s Eden Weekender ⋆｡°✮⋆｡⋆
Annies Eden, Glasgow, G21 4SF
Saturday 13th June 2026 - Sunday 14th June 2026
Annies Eden invites you to ANCESTRAL SOUNDS weekender, a celebration of Yiddish, Gaelic and IJAW. For the weekend we invite special guest CHAIA visiting from Brooklyn, New York who brings trailblazing Yiddish folk-electronic sound to Glasgow as the headliner of 2 unmissable gigs…
UPTEMPO, Saturday 13th June:
A day party portal where CHAIA weaveS recordings from Yiddish archives with vitalising deep house beats. Supporting her with bassy percussive African rhythms will be Samm Anga ~ Glasgow’s very own sonic alchemist, born of Nigeria’s Ijaw tribe. Come ALIVE, dance your heart out and raise those nourishing vibrations!!!
DOWNTEMPO, Sunday 14th June
An ambient deep-listening experience where CHAIA leads us on an avant-garde journey through the echoes of Yiddish ancestral memory. This tranquil space will be opened with the ethereal gaelic-futurism of ceremonial vocalist Noraa Chantress ~ daughter of mother alba’s Highlands & Islands. Lie back and melt away into a profound meditation for rest and renewal.

About the Artists:
CHAIA:
CHAIA is a composer combining Yiddish archival practice and electronic club music. She weaves
archival Yiddish audio with techno and ambient frameworks, creating hybrid folk-electronic
compositions that situate ancestral sound within global and liberatory rave culture. In live
performance, she brings together accordion, vocals, and samples, inviting audiences to engage
with ritual and the echoes of ancestral memory.Chaia’s mixes, featured on The Lot Radio, dublab, Res Radio, and Great Circles (among
others), showcase curated libraries of samples from Yiddish archives mixed into ambient
techno. Her recent tours have included shows at Standard Time, Lobe Studio (4DSOUND), and
Public Records, among others. Chaia has been profiled by Grammy.com, NPR’s Art of the Story,
Annabel Ross, and others. She has collaborated with Russell Elevado, Dan Tombs, Sidney Mills
and the Klezmatics. She released her debut album, Yiddish Electronic, in June 2025. Her next
EP, “Romanian Fantasies,” will be released on Delusional Records in Fall 2026.
Noraa:
Noraa Chantress is a ceremonial vocalist for Gaelic~futurism. Embracing her experience as the first generation of a Hebridean lineage not to speak the mother tongue as a primary language, she reframes this apparent loss as an opportunity for sonic exploration of the liminal space between conscious and sub-conscious knowing. The result is an esoteric ambience invoked through deep meditative states and vocable-based chanting ~ a reclamation intended to support others also existing in the echoes of linguistic death
Samm:
Born in Nigeria and based in Scotland, Samm Anga bends techno, ambient dubstep and Afro-fusion into hypnotic club rituals. Rooted in classical and jazz training, his sets drift between deep listening and dancefloor pressure, blending immersive sound design, cinematic rhythms, and percussive energy into transcendent dancefloor experiences that linger until sunrise.
