Christmas Dinner mit Dala ☃ Amanda Walther und Sheila Carabine

Gestern habe ich ein schönes Konzert beim CBC entdeckt:

Christmas Dinner with Dala

Darlings of the Canadian music scene, these JUNO nominees have released five albums and toured extensively across North America for the better part of a decade. They performed Christmas music plus some of their favourite original songs-in their trademark perfect harmony–at the NAC Studio in Ottawa. The audience really felt like they were hanging out in Dala’s dining room, laughing constantly at their between-song banter.

In diesem Konzert singen Dala auch eine schöne Version des kanadischen Weichnachtsliedes Huron Carol.

Dala – der Name ist abgeleitet aus den Namen der beiden Sängerinnen Da: Amanda Walther, La: Sheila Carabine. Das kanadische Duo gibt es seit 2002. Das Duo wurde für den Juno nominiert und hat 2010 den Canadian Folk Music Award für die Vocal Group des Jahres gewonnen.

Auf der Homepage kann man folgendes lesen:

Juno nominees and winners of the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, Amanda Walther and Sheila Carabine of Dala write and sing in harmony best described as angelic. These two best friends met in their high school music class in 2002; they have since released five albums and toured extensively across North America. Darlings of the Canadian music scene, Dala are now poised to bring their fresh brand of acoustic pop music to the world.

Hier ein Interview mit Sheila Carabine und Amanda Walther über ihren Harmoniegesang und Hockey, die Linkshänder Ukulele und mehr. Vor allem kann man die fröhliche Art der beiden sehr gut erleben:

DALA on harmony and hockey

The Canadian duo DALA–Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther–got two standing ovations at the Sanctuary series in Chatham, NJ. Their songs have wit and depth, they harmonize like sisters and, being from Canada, they’re just so…nice. In this interview after the show, they reflect on harmony– musical and otherwise–and talk about Sheila’s strange ukulele and the Stanley Cup finals.
