The critically acclaimed group LAL from Canada are coming to perform in Kolkata this Saturday the 21st of January 2012 at the special poolside stage of the AlterSpace launch event.

Formed in 1998 by the dynamic duo of poet, singer & Bengali-rooted Rosina Kazi, producer, sound designer, philosopher, aphorismist and Barbados-born king of chill, Murr, then joined later by bassist Uganda-born Ian de Souza, LAL always proved hard to describe. They’re a band, but not only a band they’re a music making magical mushroom, the visible flowering part of a much larger organism.

LAL have opened for Terry Callier at the Jazz Cafe (London), Digable Planets, Tricky, Saul Williams, State of Bengal, and Nelly Furtado in Canada.

Discography:
LAL – 2011
Deportation – 2008
Warm Belly, High Power – 2004
Corners – 2000
