Lila combines the traditions of American folk music with the world music sounds of India, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Lila (pronounced lee-la, Sanskrit for "Divine Play") is: Deborah Pine (guitar and vocals), Janette Michaels (vocals), Alison Dishinger (bass), and Clark Jamison (percussion). Deborah's original compositions feature soaring vocals, powerful rhythms and spiritual lyrics, creating the sounds of New World Music.

"Dancing to the music of Lila is an uplifting, and deeply spiritual experience for me. In many ways, it stirs a sense of unity - not only with fellow dancers, but with the world. Our planet needs more music like this!" - Christine P.

Lila was formed in 1999 as the duo of Deborah and Janette, with Alison and Clark joining in 2003. Lila had the privilege of opening for Judy Collins in January of 2006, and opened for internationally acclaimed singer Maura O'Connell when she performed in Lawrence in August, 2004. Lila has performed on the Homegrown Stage at the Wakarusa festival and for events sponsored by the Lawrence Coalition for Peace & Justice, Solidarity, Kansas Woman's History Month, Unity, Shining Heart Sufi Community, and the Kansas State Fiddling & Picking Championship. They have produced three CDs. The full power of their music, however, should be witnessed at their concerts, with free-form dancers swirling throughout the room.
