   About Laliya
Laliya is an instrumental hybrid of new acoustic and subtle world fusion, creating an atmospheric soundscape with the technique known as two hand tapping on the Dulcimer, combined with rhythmic and percussive beats. A truly unique, and transcendent auditory experience / In December of 2004, Laliya extended their boundaries with a radio interview broadcast nationally in the USA on Public Radio International (BBC World), with Lisa Mullins. This led to Laliya receiving airplay on Echoes (National Radio), where Laliya were placed in the top artists category for January, March and April, and WRUR FM91.9 based in Ohio, where Laliya made both the top most played and requested songs in 2005. In January 2006 Laliya's "Just Like River" album achieved 4th position (out of 25) in the Echoes listeners poll for best album of 2005 (Not bad for an independent production) For more info check out our website www.laliya.com

It was such a culture shock to have my daughter start school and for us stand in one place all year but it's been a massive healing time for everyone and just as well we did stand still considering what has been manifesting!! It may seem so very hard at times but the difficulties are the mirror for the beautiful possibilities inside of us and between us! I appreciate it when you share warm fuzzies and updates about your own experiences and ways of being. You can be a teacher and an inspiration. x x x

Hey, Melissa & James!
Thanks for accepting the request! Saw you playing in Viljandi, Estonia years back and still havent forgot the most incredible concert you gave there! Pure music and your pure lust of doing it! Its rare to encounter such sparkle in the eyes of artists that you two had.
Hope that one day your travels will bring you back here again!
Thanks for the wonderful memories! (Luckily I can refresh them with the CD I bought back then :))
Keep up the spirit!

Hey Melissa, hi Jim. How you're doing? Did I tell you I regularly listen to your "just like river"-Album, for I put it on everytime I practise my !mahw-yoga-workout Carl taught me. No kiddin'! When are you coming to my part of the world?? Perhaps I have to take the long long road to Fremantle again to catch up with what you are doing :) Hope to see you before another 4 years go by... Love, Cord
