MIYAVI Debuts Music Video for "Long Nights" Featuring Sonita

Just in time for his US Tour, Universal Music Japan recording artist MIYAVI has released a new music video for his latest song, “Long Nights”!

​The video is a musical/vocal duet between guitarist MIYAVI and Afghan phenom rapper, Sonita, who has drawn wide critical acclaim for her vocals, fortitude as a Muslim woman in hip hop and also her work as a social activist bringing wider attention to the plight of Afghan families selling their daughters into marriage.

MIYAVI is a world-renowned musician, actor and philanthropist, who has focused on bridging cultures across the globe with his music and through his work for numerous humanitarian causes. With the moniker of the “Samurai Guitarist,” MIYAVI developed a very unconventional style of guitar playing – performing not with a pick, but with his fingers in a method dubbed “slap style.”
 
Sonita was the focus and title of a stark documentary that narrated one woman’s fearless efforts to end child marriage in the name of human rights and gender equity. It was hailed as the best and most popular documentary in the World Cinema category at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, where it won both the Grand Jury prize and the Audience Award. MIYAVI and Sonita will perform “Long Nights” live for concertgoers on select dates on his current tour.
