“Sound-wise, Deportation is as compelling as its subject matter.”- Toronto Star.

LAL’s music is the outcome of a collaboration between vocalist RosinaKazi, electronic music composer and producer Nick Murray (a.k.a. “Murr”),bassist Ian DeSouza, and percussionist Rakesh Tewari. All their recordshave been released to much acclaim, including their previous release beingawarded Best Soul Album 2004 by prominent Canadian music rag Exclaim!Magazine.

LAL is a protest band representing Uganda, Bangladesh, Barbados and India.The new record is called ‘Deportation’ and it was creatively triggered by9/11 and it’s affects, the deportation of Queen Nzinga [an artist andactivist who was deported to Costa Rica on International Women’s Day inToronto in 2004], and many others, Project Threadbare [a campaign to stopthe deportation of 24 Pakistani men due to racist immigration and nationalsecurity measures], our experiences as migrant peoples, our travels, andthose we’ve met along the way, our thoughts & spirits as individuals andcommunities. We are grateful for the opportunity to make music that speaksto issues of social justice.
