[mobglob-discuss] July 24- LAL plays Vancouver, Coast Salish Territories!]

[Harsha Walia]

July 24th: LAL plays Coast Salish Territories, Vancouver!
Local launch of 3rd highly acclaimed independent album DEPORTATION

With guest performers- Zenobia Salik + others TBC

"Sound-wise, Deportation is as compelling as its subject matter."
- Toronto Star.

LAL’s music is the outcome of a collaboration between vocalist Rosina
Kazi, electronic music composer and producer Nick Murray (a.k.a. “Murr”),
bassist Ian DeSouza, and percussionist Rakesh Tewari. All their records
have been released to much acclaim, including their previous release being
awarded Best Soul Album 2004 by prominent Canadian music rag Exclaim!
Magazine.

LAL is a protest band representing Uganda, Bangladesh, Barbados and India.
The new record is called 'Deportation' and it was creatively triggered by
9/11 and it's affects, the deportation of Queen Nzinga [an artist and
activist who was deported to Costa Rica on International Women's Day in
Toronto in 2004], and many others, Project Threadbare [a campaign to stop
the deportation of 24 Pakistani men due to racist immigration and national
security measures], our experiences as migrant peoples, our travels, and
those we've met along the way, our thoughts & spirits as individuals and
communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to make music that speaks
to issues of social justice.
