Discography & Performance
“Vima” has a presence that astonishes and a voice that transcends. With intuition and grace her compositional techniques bring a breath of fresh air to the “new music” world.”
-Phillip Blackburn, American Composers Forum
“Vima Lamura soars to unknown places in this trippy, infectious moves-inspirer…
The Walk in the Sky CD is one of those surprises when you know that some tenuous connection has worked.”
– First City Magazine – Delhi, India
“Vima” is an enigmatic performer … other worldly in presence and voice… there is a sense of the Ancient with timeless resonance that stays with you long after the performance is over.”
-Honolulu Academy of Arts
“Passionate, astounding voice.”
-Backroads Music Magazine CD review
“Vima’s Voice of the Beloved…absorbed in a sacred space…
an Authentic & elegant performance with stunning vocals.” ~ Time Warner
