WITH her striking voice and strong Russian and Ingush heritage, Daria Kulesh is making a name for herself as a unique and exciting singer/ songwriter.

Russian-born but now settled in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, Daria Kulesh conjures a beguiling romanticism.

Daria will be visiting Somerset to perform at Cotleigh Brewery for the Silver Street sessions in March.

Dynamic delivery and passion come to the fore in her debut solo album, Eternal Child , described as “phenomenal” by FATEA Magazine and named ‘Album of the Month’ and runner-up in ‘Best Album of 2015 from a Female Artist’ by FolkWords, among numerous other accolades.

From performing in a resident band at an Irish pub near the Kremlin to singing at a charity gala at the former Moscow Governor’s palace; from busking in Nova Scotia, Canada to playing at Cambridge Folk Festival and the Southbank Centre, Daria’s musical and personal journey is turbulent and varied.

Daria Kulesh’s new solo album Long Lost Home is being launched today, February 23, at Cecil Sharp House’s Kennedy Hall with an incredible line-up of guest musicians.

Long Lost Home is inspired by Ingushetia (Ghalghai Mokh) – the lost home of Daria’s grandmother Fatima Akhrieva.

A mountainous republic in the south of Russia, it’s a land of immense beauty and harrowing tragedy, of fascinating culture and age-old traditions.

Daria’s personal link to the stories injects the songs with raw passion and power; the single from the upcoming album, The Moon and the Pilot , has been described by Mike Harding as “one of the most beautiful new songs of the last 10 years”.

Daria will be accompanied by multi instrumentalist Jonny Dyer (Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer) when she comes to perform at Cotleigh Brewery on Saturday, March, 11.

Tickets cost £12 or £10 for concessions.
