DOC-DEBUT: The Laya Project
Laya Project’s musicians are the people of coastal and surrounding
communities in the 2004 tsunami-affected regions of Sri Lanka, Thailand,
Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar and India. The project is dedicated to the
survivors of that historic disaster.
This gorgeous and mesmerizng production is based on regional folk music
traditions, recorded and brought back to the studio to create settings that
enhance the original recordings. It is also a breathtakingly beautiful
juxtaposition of the grandeur of nature with its potential for destruction.
While the journey crosses borders, it preserves the music of the people, and
is a personal and collective tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.
