Aloha, the biography below captures my work in voice, music and film. The pages on this blog will be a more personal journey delving deeply into a heartfelt expose of what I am here to do… As well as providing a platform for sharing, prompting open rapport and unity.
“My Journey is creating high quality works that usher spiritual, personal and global awareness bridging transcendental, cultural and human experiences through the powerful mediums of voice, music, film, performances, and writing“
Vima Lamura (Charlottemarie) breaks barriers creating an innovative hybrid of “new” music through her unique voice, performances and recordings. Her astonishing 4 octave range, artistic refinement and spritual essence, weaves an ancient-futuristic tone with multi cultural influences, luxuriant vocals, and potent messages elegantly set on electronic/acoustic sound-beds creating transcending musical experiences beyond entertainment.
Vima (Charlottemarie) has 7 CDs to her credit and featured on many more. She has created, scripted, composed and performed 7 “world beat operas” in addition to multiple ensemble performances and solo tours worldwide. Her voice is heard on film soundtracks, internationally. Her performance and composition works have been rewarded by esteemed Fellowship and Grant Foundations. Vima is also a published writer and poet.
A lifetime of immersion in ancient, traditional cultures, cultivated her global appeal. Vima’s works translate these experiences through high quality music, events, writings and teachings bridging transcendental, cultural, and human experiences.
Vima’s film and musical recordings, events and performances span the US, Europe, India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands.
“As I venture into the unknown, a silent seed yearning to blossom in my heart breaks to light… Like a bird on it’s last breath at every turn, I have to follow the flame that burns in my soul to breathe … I now see my work has chosen me as unfolding surrender is all that is asked while the source of all creation reveals it’s plan before every step”
