Zulya and the Children of the Underground

2007 ARIA AWARD WINNER FOR BEST WORLD MUSIC ALBUM FOR THEIR LATEST RELEASE, 3 NIGHTS.

Multi award-winning Zulya Kamalova is known as one of the most exotic and enthralling performers and songwriters in Australia.

Her music reflects the cultural wealth of her background - Tatar, Russian, Australian - with an ongoing fascination with experimenting through a range of musical styles and instrumentation. In command of this formidable array of instruments are some of Australia’s most exquisite musicians, weaving through superb song-writing and intricate arrangements.

Zulya’s sublime voice centres on the hauntingly beautiful Tatar singing style she was surrounded by as she grew up in the heart of Russia.

It is a sound originating somewhere in between Eastern Europe and Far East, that musicologists call“a bridge between Mongolian and Hungarian music”.

With songs sung in three languages - English, Russian and Zulya’s native tongue Tatar, Zulya and the Children of the Underground explore the depths of the Russian soul, inspired by a life in that complex and mysterious country

"...she is one of the most important contributors to the overall pattern of a contemporary Australian music in this society."
Felix Hayman, ABC Classic FM
