Deya Dova

With her extraordinary voice, pumpin' band and primal World Dance sound, DEYA DOVA delivers a spine tingling, genre defying show that is rapidly earning her a devoted following around the country. Think the primal power of the Drummers of Burundi meet the refined sonics of Trentemoller, mashed with a twist of Bjork and the radical vocal layering of someone totally, refreshingly, unique.

Onstage DEYA is a sensual feminine BOMB performing a stunningly visual & theatrical show that features live versions of album tracks as well as selected remixes from her latest international remix release DEYA DOVA REMIXED.

“The highlight of the festival was the main stage going off to DEYA DOVA…utterly mesmerizing as she looped her ethereal vocals and harmonized layer after lush layer….accompanied by totally infectious dance beats she seemed to be possessed by something other worldly. Influences came from indigenous sounds from across the world, tapping into something primal within us all.” TSUNAMI

"Reminiscent of The Knife or Bjork and yet completely refreshingly unique." IN THE MIX
