Starting out as 'Zoya' in 2015 – the band lost their brother and prolific guitarist – Valentine Shipley in 2020.
In a return to the live scene as 'LAHAUL' their music captures the confluence of hearts, souls, minds and talents of four awesome buddies and fantastic musicians. Influenced by Blues, Folk, Jazz, Reggae, Rock, Electronica - while staying true to Classical and Sufi traditions led by Prabhu's timeless voice - their music flows like river through the Lahaul expanse... alive, resonant, timeless, as their performances are mesmerising.
