Namena Lala, the solo project of Natalia Orkisz, showcased songs from her new album LALA to a packed Klub Re in Krakow on March 22.<\/span><\/h5>\n
There\u2019s plenty to admire during this live set: innovative vocal loops build, while clever, deft digital percussive touches and subtle shades of other instrumentation add to a creative palette bursting with lyrical verve. A classically trained cellist, she has put down her bow for this project, and much of her repertoire could be categorised as joyful experimentations in building disparate sounds on top of each other, low-fi folk electronica \u2013 soulful, trip hoppy, thick with striking imagery and melodic hooks. Yet it\u2019s her astounding falsetto vocal that is the real showstopper throughout, like a child raised by wolves, in startling elfin gasps and yelps, she gives a human voice to the unfiltered ambience of the forest.<\/span><\/h5>\n

Namena Lala \u2013 also the name of a Fijian volcanic islet \u2013 was decimated by Cyclone Winston in 2016, flattening all the human constructs, leaving only a wild bird reserve in its wake. A fitting metaphor for a world on the verge of environmental collapse, many songs have a sensitivity borne of the fragility of the planet and those we share it with. An urgency flows out in some of the songs as well as a profound sense of disappointment. Expectations Expired starts like the call of a witches\u2019 coven \u2013 part Kate Bush and Agnes Obel \u2013 its ethereal incantation bemoans short attention spans in a reality boiling over with injustice \u2013 social and environmental \u2013 and our flailing impotence to mitigate it.<\/h5>\n

The bewitchingly evocative Foki begins with what could be the sounds of a hammock swinging in the breeze but more than likely is a wooden boat creaking its way merrily downstream. She sings of a pristine world \u2013 Eden-like and untouched \u2013 the seals that frolic in these calm, clear waters catch the singer by surprise.

Jak w korcu maku, another single from the new album, is a touching ode to her parents, composed around a poem penned by her father before she was born. There\u2019s a love and longing here so real you can almost touch it. It\u2019s a place where nostalgia, gratitude and beauty coalesce.<\/h5>\n

Natalia\u2019s stage presence is remarkable, her charming banter pulls each member of the audience into that zone where they are mere putty in her hands \u2013 encouraging them, confiding in them, soothing them, prompting them, inviting them to submerse themselves in her kaleidoscopic audio-visual adventure, an uplifting celebration of nature\u2019s benevolent magic. They don\u2019t need to be asked twice.<\/h5>\n
