WINNERS OF THE INDY MUSIC AWARDS 2008 - BEST SOUL/JAZZ/FUNK ACT

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR US AT THE INDY AWARDS!

WE HAD AN AWESOME TIME! THANK YOU!

What They Say:

"A captivating and seemingly effortless soulful voice" - Justin Wilkes, KISS FM

“Like classic Sade with purer motives” – Bangkok Post

“Truly original, seriously inimitable, fabulous!” – Big Secret Promotions

The purity and depth of Vimala’s voice evoke her cultural heritage, to bring you a soulful voice wrapped in sophisticated modern grooves. Originating from England, she has travelled extensively, using her experiences to shape her musical style. Her influences draw from a broad listening pallet of Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott, Sade and Indian classical music.
The songs from her new EP were inspired from an inner groove and peace that she tapped into during her journeys throughout Thailand, Australia, India and Japan. Her message is simple: Truth, strength, love and joy.
Previous releases have seen Vimala performing and working with renowned Australian guitarist -Tommy Emmanuel and James Brown’s bass player- Carl James. Most notably though, Vimala has enjoyed chart success in Asia, with two top three singles in Thailand and record sales of over 30,000 in Japan.
Her live shows are visually exuberant and musically powerful as she is supported on stage, by her dynamic band that complete the vibe of her performances.
Discography:
1994 - Thailand - TKO "Original Thai Rap"
1995 - Thailand - Ply
1996 - Thailand/Japan - Velma
2002 - Australia - Global Roots "The Odyssey"
2003 - Australia - Zephyr (self titled)

Kālidāsa	Oct 27 2008 12:53 PM Happy Divali Vimala ! तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय Tamaso Mā Jyotir Gamaya "From darkness lead me to Light" "Conduis-moi de l'ombre à la lumière" (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Part I, Chapter III, Verse 28) एकम् सत् विप्राः बहुधा वदन्ति Ekam Sat Viprāha Bahudhā Vadanti "Truth is One, though the Wises call it by various names."

Kālidāsa	Oct 21 2008 2:56 PM Thanks a lot for the add Vimala, i'm happy to be part of your inspiring world. You are welcome in the living light of Kalidasa's poetry, the antique great Poet seer of India. I have created this Kalidasa's profile, because even if great writers as Goethe, Lamartine or René Daumal was fond of his talent, and though Kalidasa is known as the Indian Shakespeare by the scholars all over the world, he is still quite unknown in western countries, for example in France where i'm living. Have a nice week, Eknath
