DÁLAVA duo + 사라x미리 at CHINA CLOUD STUDIOS
Vancouver, BC, November 27, 8:30 PM
An intimate concert at the legendary China Cloud Studios featuring DÁLAVA duo + 사라x미리 performing live. A true treat! Plan for a beautifully cozy night! This show will be both filmed and recorded. *Proof of Vaccination required to attend *Masks required to enter venue *CASH bar Dálava is an homage to traditional Moravian (Czech) folksong, sourcing melodies transcribed over 100 years ago by the great-grandfather of Dálava's singer, Julia Ulehla, and reanimating them in an extremely stirring, avant-garde, post-rock musical language. Comprised of a group of stellar musicians from Vancouver, Dálava's release The Book of Transfigurations (Songlines, 2017) has garnered critical acclaim. "Every now and then an album appears that is so overwhelming and so intense that it is hard to put into any category. Such is the case with The Book of Transfigurations...Saying that TBOT is a masterpiece is not an exaggeration” (Bas Springer, fRoots, August 2017). "It’s astonishing music—and the story behind its creation is emblematic of how Old World traditions can be born again, thousands of miles and several generations away from their roots" (Alex Varty, Georgia Straight, March 2017). "The album is not so much a fusion, more an exciting collision of tradition with experimentation, one that will equally appeal to fans of folk, avantgarde improv and jazz" (Jo Frost, Songlines Magazine, July 2017). In performance and on recording, the "incandescent" (Musicworks, Summer/Fall 2017) Dálava delves into deep territory—conjuring ancestors, animating spirits, and crafting musical microcosms around the gem-like folk melodies. www.dalavamusic.com 사라x미리 is a collaboration of Sara Kim and Mili Hong. Sara included Mili as a part of her ‘watermill’ project, which involves traditional Korean singing style/folk songs. Since then, Mili and Sara have been playing together more than ever and trying to find the sound of modernized Korean traditional music with a mix of jazz in their own voices. www.youtube.com COVID Safety Info: China Cloud Studios is committed to making sure everyone is protecting those around them and themselves.
