Laya Project is a musical visual journey documenting folk music recorded and filmed on location in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Maldives, India and Myanmar. Some of these performances are rare and documented for the first time. The musicians are primarily from coastal communities affected by the tsunami of December 2004. For the international team who came together for this production, “Laya Project” is a celebration of life, and is dedicated to the survivors. Crossing boundaries of genre while still preserving the music of the people, the film’s essence is artistic purity and simplicity, from a non-judgemental point of view.
