Folk harp and tabla blended with North Indian Classical music and a little "out" jazz added in for spice.
Bio / Background
Combining Mia Theodoratus on Celtic Harp and Nick Smith on Tabla, Jah-La is an exciting blend of free improvisation and North Indian Classical music. Together they have twisted the basic forms to make them more accessible to the night club(CBGB, Tonic, Knitting Factory) scene and various under ground clubs and squats in NYC. .
Jah-La has released aCD 1 Swirl on NI records. This Disc also features legendary bassist Tony Maimone(Pere Ubu and They Might Be Giants) . Also available is an EP with new songs called Misery featuring Buddy Woodward from the Nitro Express on banjo.
Mia Theodoratus started out her life as a harpist going though the usual classical training- the Peabody Conservatory 'til the money ran out, BFA at UT Austin, MFA at CALARTS with Susan Allen, Charlie Hayden, and Amiyo Dasgupta(student loans to prove it!). While in California she tired of her profitable career playing near "the Blue Piccasso" for many posh occasions and drove in search of musical freedom to NYC.
