Vima Lamura
“Fate had swept my soul playing it’s hand like a gentle wind, powerful in it’s silence, I’ve been guided on a journey, beyond the most vivid imaginings. Exposure to a vast spectrum of music, the way of the ancients ignited my heart with inexplicable, rapturous passion. A metamorphic transition revealed the unseen, primordial essence of sound, voice, music, rhythm, vibration and consciousness influencing every aspect of my life and work, to this day.
In the midst of the evolution of Self, my process of creating musical works developed into transcendental innovative expressions, ushering unity, awakening, personal and global awareness bridging science, cultural and human experiences through the powerful mediums of voice, music, film, performances, and writing.”
Vima Lamura breaks barriers creating an innovative hybrid of “new” music through her unique voice, performances and recordings. Her 4 octave range silhouettes effortlessly with vocal stylisings from indigenous to classical, primordial to other worldly embodying harmonics, textures and tones that touch the soul. Vima’s artistic refinement and spiritual essence, weaves an ancient-futuristic tone with multi cultural influences, luxuriant vocals, and potent messages elegantly set on electronic/acoustic sound-beds of cinematic, classical, crossover and ambient themes. She sings in a variety of languages in a range of styles from ambient, classical and ethnic to spoken word. Her recording and performance works inspire transcending experiences beyond entertainment.
Vima has 7 CDs to her credit. She is featured on several recordings with WingMakers and film soundtracks. She has created, scripted, composed and performed 7 “world beat operas” in addition to multiple ensemble performances and solo tours worldwide. Her performance and composition works have been rewarded by the American Composer’s Forum, Jerome Foundation and McKnight foundation. Vima is also a published writer and poet.
A lifetime of immersion in ancient, traditional cultures, cultivated her global appeal. Her passion for meditation, yoga and cosmology of chant have strongly influenced her creations to this day.
