LAL

CD Release Party

09.29.09

LAL is a collective of musicians representing Uganda, Bangladesh, Barbados, and India featuring vocalist Rosina Kazi, laptop musician, Nicholas “Murr†Murray, and bassist Ian de Sousa. With a strong belief in the link between art and social change, the group has developed their own unique sound over the last decade, fusing South-Asian roots, West Indian fruits, and melancholic vocals with jazz sensibilities, hip hop influences, down tempo grooves, broken soul, and electro. Weaving their distinct sound with lyrical, socially conscious poetry, LAL has produced two full length albums, Corners (2002), and Warm Belly High Power (2004), which was awarded the best soul album in 2004 by Exclaim, Canada’s premier music magazine. They have also performed in a wide variety of festivals and impressive venues across Canada, Europe, and Pakistan, and have been recognized with support from the Canada Council for the Arts for composing and recording in 2006 /2007. LAL continues to bring you even more captivating material with the release of their latest record, Deportation (spring 2008), which may be their most impressive work to date.
