Na⁵ is a brand new project lead by Niccolò Angioni — trumpet player, composer and arranger. The quintet features some of the best young musicians in The Hague and Rotterdam, coming from all over the world — Italy, Cuba, Austria, India and Cyprus, they meet in Na⁵ bringing all their different energies and influences in one place.
Niccolò Angioni is a versatile and eclectic artist who loves music in various forms. His deep connection to black American music, classical western music, electronic music, hip hop and freely improvised music can be heard in this project. All these genres melt together in a spontaneous and organic manner, like ingredients in a big magic cauldron. The result of this melting pot is an explosive and fresh musical experience.
