Laya Project
(1 DVD + 2 CDs + Booklet)
The Laya Project is an award-winning musical and visual journey of folk communities in the 2004 tsunami affected regions of Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar and India. Unknown local folk musicians were recorded and filmed, mostly in make-shift on-location studios. While based on regional folk music traditions, the Laya Project mixes and enhances the original recordings, crossing boundaries of genre while still preserving the music of the people.
Some of these performances are unique and have been documented for the first time in this production.
ALSO AVAILABLE ON CD BABY!
* DVD for Zone -1; PAL version available on request
