Haunting melodies delivered by rich, sensual vocal; playful rhythms on acoustic percussion; warm instrument wood, strings, breath, skin blend with subtle eclectic studio invented sonics.
LUMINA is contemporary in writing and production with nod to traditions in Roma music.

Canadian music at the crossroads of song, culture and philosophy.

LUMINA means light in Romanian. original poem on inside of CD disc summarises the backstory:

"FRACTURES OF BONE AND HEART

LAY MY ARMOUR DOWN
FOR LUMINA"
