"This is the sort of knowledge we should have of places, peoples and music" World Music Central review on Laya Project A celebration of life and music, Laya Project documents regional folk music traditions in remote villages that lay in the 2004 Asian tsunami’s path in coastal and surrounding communities of Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar and India. Performances of unknown local musicians were filmed and recorded on-location, arranged and mixed to create a composition that embarks on a musical journey crossing borders, yet preserving the music of the people. A collective tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, Laya Project is dedicated to those who survived the tsunami by the many people who came together for this production from across the different cultures of Canada, the Netherlands, Israel, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Five years after the Laya Project journey began, loved and respected musicians and remixers from cities across USA, UK, Germany, Israel, India and New Zealand come together in collaboration with the recordings from far away, remote lands, for a union of electronic and traditional music. Bridging the distance, urban music embraces diverse traditions and cultures in Laya Project’s musical celebration of life… A New Day : Laya Project Remixed Laya: Embrace Laya: Union : to accept, support, include and contain willingly : uniting Song, Dance and Music into one : to hold closely in one’s arms : bonding, joining together for creation Pitch Black | EarthRise SoundSystem | Bhakti Brothers, feat.
