Laliya (Musicians from Australia and Ireland)


Week 4 Performance Summary
Laliya is an instrumental hybrid of new acoustic and subtle world fusion, creating an atmospheric soundscape using instruments of old in a modern and exciting way. This has been enhanced through the use of a technique known as 'two hand tapping' on the Dulcimer combined with rhythmic and percussive beats of the Djembe.

A truly unique, and transcendent auditory experience.
