LAL | Toronto, ON
For over two decades, Polaris Prize–longlisted Toronto duo LAL; Bengali-rooted vocalist and activist Rosina Kazi and Barbados-born producer Nicholas “Murr” Murray, have built a catalogue of silvery, internationally influenced electronica that insists the dancefloor remain a site of resistance and renewal.
Formed in 1998, LAL is a legacy Canadian electronic collective known for fusing dub, soul, Bengali folk, Caribbean traditions, and experimental sound with urgent social and political consciousness. Their music interrogates migration, queer/trans liberation, colonial violence, and belonging, while imagining new worlds of joy, safety, and collective healing. Deeply rooted in Toronto’s activist and arts communities, LAL continues to transform sound into social dialogue, building space for movement, spirit, and resistance through rhythm and connection.

LAL | LIVE
Experiencing LAL live is not merely a concert, it is a full-body immersion into a world built on care and resistance. The duo transforms any space into a sanctuary where pulsing low-end frequencies become a physical heartbeat, and Rosina Kazi’s intimate vocals wrap around you like a trusted embrace. Between songs, moments of shared breath and spoken reflection invite the audience into a collective practice of listening and feeling. Visual projections by their chosen family of filmmakers bathe the room in textured light, creating an environment where queer, BIPOC, and disabled bodies can occupy space fully and freely. To witness LAL live is to step out of the shadows and into a temporary community where love is not just sung about, it is practiced, together, in real time.
