DOORIYAN

DOORIYAN ("Distances")

AUSTRALIA - A vast continent with cloudless blue skies and deep blue oceans that stretch as far as the eye can see... and well beyond. Ocean spray and rippling surf give way to the sunburnt expanses of barren desert sands and the unforgettable Red Centre. The Island continent is also endowed with dense rainforests where uniquely Australian birds welcome the dawn, and in the great plains, distinct animals frolic till sunset. The nation's unusual fauna is best characterised by the raucous laughter of the Kookaburra and the boundless energy of the Kangaroo. Watching over this idyllic scene for around 50,000 years, Aboriginal people have had a rich history that reaches from the mystic 'Dreamtime' into 21 st century.

These timeless icons represent the infinite contrasts, vast distances and ancient heritage of the land down under.

DOORIYAN ("Distances") - The theme of this musical compilation - the first ever to combine the sounds of Australia with the music of India - is a desire to recall past memories over enormous distances. The poignant music and emotive lyrics rekindle the fondest of childhood recollections: building sandcastles, flying kites, cherished school days and warm family love. Dooriyan intimately captures these feelings and combines them with the yearning to cross the distances of time and space while being drenched in beautiful morning dew, pouring rain, caressing winds and shimmering moonlight. The emotions inspired by the melodies of Dooriyan will bring people together and cement bonds between their motherland and their land
