Daria Kulesh and friends

Moscow-born Daria Kulesh combines a truly extraordinary voice with strong Russian and Ingush heritage. Her debut solo album Eternal Child was described as “phenomenal” by FATEA Magazine and tonight she releases her sophomore album, Long Lost Home which was inspired by Ingushetia (Ghalghai Mokh) – the lost home of Daria’s Grandmother Fatima Akhrieva. A mountainous republic in the south of Russia, it’s a land of immense beauty and harrowing tragedy, of fascinating culture and age-old traditions. The date of the album launch marks the tragic anniversary of Stalin’s outrageous injustice, the deportation of the Ingush and the Chechens in 1944, an event that resonates with the recurrent harsh reality of social displacement caused by inhumane governments and war.
