This is a niceconcert to lead you to the coming christmas holidays:<\/p>\n<h4>Christmas Dinner with Dala<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>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\u2013at the NAC Studio in Ottawa. The audience really felt like they were hanging out in Dala\u2019s dining room, laughing constantly at their between-song banter.<\/p>\n<p>(This concert is no longer available)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the pieces I have discovered in this concert is the old Canadian christmas tune <strong>Huron Carol<\/strong> (see my next post in this blog).<\/p>\n<p>The name Dala has been constructed form the names of the two members of Dala &#8211; <strong>Da<\/strong>: Aman<strong>da<\/strong> Walther and <strong>La<\/strong>: Shei<strong>la<\/strong> Carabine.<\/p>\n<p>On the Dala homepage you can read the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Juno nominees and winners of the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, Amanda Walther and Sheila Carabine of\u00a0Dala write and sing in harmony best described as angelic. \u00a0These 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is an interview with Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther about their great harmony singing, hocke, the left handed ukulele and more. Especially you can experience the their great sens of humor, their loughing and smiling:<\/p>\n<h4>DALA on harmony and hockey<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>The Canadian duo DALA&#8211;Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther&#8211;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&#8217;re just so&#8230;nice. In this interview after the show, they reflect on harmony&#8211; musical and otherwise&#8211;and talk about Sheila&#8217;s strange ukulele and the Stanley Cup finals.
