Laya Project Deluxe Set (2 CD/DVD) by Laya Project offers Asian Fusion and World Music and HD DVD video from the communities of the 2004 tsunami-affected regions in south Asia.
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 production is based on regional folk music traditions, recorded and brought back to the studio to create a composition that mixes and arranges the original recordings, and embarks on a visual and musical journey crossing borders, while preserving the music of the people. Some of these performances are rare, and are documented for the first time in this production.
For the international team who came together for this production, Laya Project is a personal and collective tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, and is dedicated to the survivors of the 26th December 2004 Asian tsunami.
The Laya Project Deluxe Set features the music from the 2-CD audio release, plus a DVD of Laya Project, an award winning 68-minute film documenting this musical journey and exquisitely capturing the enduring beauty of the tsunami-stricken landscape.
