Dalinda

Dalinda has recorded in various parts of the World: England, Italy, USA, Egypt and Libya, taking international artists and their art at its origin. So, identifying Dalinda with one particular sound or simply pigeonhole her is difficult. Just listen and enjoy her East meets West rhythms!Originally Bosnian, was born in Libya, on the Saharan fringe of the Mediterranean. From an early age she was exposed to a filigree of musical influences which provided her with a taste and appreciation of different genres; Italian canzonnas which she learned from her little friends, the Slavic/Balkan folk her father listened to, the soulful sounds of Edit Piaff and Russian Gypsy ballads her mother adored, and the Arabian music everywhere around.

However, the outlet for her expression in Tripoli was missing, and so she left Libya for England, in a quest to fuse the music from her childhood with the music in her mind.

London and the past decade captivated her with its particular vibe, working with renowned percussionist-composer-producer Hossam Ramzy, who has been vital and instrumental to the music of the leading artists such as Peter Gabriel, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, Sting, Loreena McKennitt, to name a few. —Courtesy Calabash Music
