Programma - LaLaLand Nederland

program

'Unity in Diversity' is what India stands for. You will find everything at LaLaLand.

On Saturday the door opens at 12 noon and the program continues until 11 pm. On Sunday we start at 9am with a beautiful morning concert and yoga and close the program with a grand finale at 6pm.

There are 6 stages at LaLaLand: 1. Holi Stage (in the church of Ruigoord there is yoga to classical to electronic), 2. Felix Room (dedicated to Felix van Lamsweerde, the founder of Indian Classical music in the Netherlands), 3 Chandi Chowk (bands play on the square in front of the church, you can dance, participate and relax), 4. Yoga Pavilion (here you will find our extensive yoga program for all ages and levels and talks), 5. Art House (for modern art and workshops) 6. Chai & More (wander to the Ruigoord Tea Garden where you can listen to Kirtan in the green grass).

music

The music is super varied. We have the dazzling 10-piece band Dharavi Rocks, from the slums of Mumbai, Tritha and Friends with fusion and electronic set, the Cosmic Choir, Swaram and some Jazz, DJ Mous, DJ Thee J Johanz and the band Diamonds 2000.

Tritha & Friends

Niet veel mensen buiten Zuid-India zijn bekend met de pareltjes van de Tamil- en Telugu-cinema. In de jaren tachtig overtroffen deze films Bollywood gemakkelijk met hun verbeeldingskracht, sensualiteit, inventiviteit en muzikale rijkdom. Componist Ilaiyaraaja duwde de muziek naar nieuwe hoogten, terwijl de Zuid-Indiase filmmakers elke methode gebruikten om kijkers onder te dompelen in trippy en funky filmliedjes, en daarmee elke regel op het gebied van filmmaken en montage overtreden. De nummers die Edo Bouman (muziekonderzoeker/ DJ/verzamelaar Bombay Connection/ Vintage Voudou) zal vertonen lijken in eerste instantie grof gemaakt en campy, maar blijken uiteindelijk buitengewoon boeiend, origineel en poëtisch.
