Dala, the acoustic-folk duo of Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther and darlings of the Canadian music

scene are bringing their own fresh brand of acoustic pop music to the world. Juno nominees and winners of the

2010 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, Amanda Walther and Sheila Carabine of Dala

write and sing in harmony best described as angelic.

Drawing upon influences like The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, Dala write songs that

are both catchy and insightful. Amanda’s ethereal soprano voice blends seamlessly with Sheila’s velvety alto,

creating the lush harmonies that have become their trademark. The sheer joy with which they perform is

infectious, turning first-time listeners into instant fans. Dala are equally entertaining between songs, telling

funny and down to earth stories that make every show unique.

“There’s nothing pretentious about Dala’s music; it’s stripped down and laid bare. That’s not to say it is

without polish – far from it. Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther have worked hard to exploit every facet of

their extraordinary musical blend, and it would be just as at home in a 1960s coffeehouse as it is now on the

contemporary concert stage.” -Andrew Craig, Host of CBC “Canada Live”
