Details:
Jariya, a trio of international multi-instrumentalists, has been producing, composing and recording their original music together since 1993 and is comprised of Eve Buigues (lead vocals, songwriting, production, keyboards, loops, drums, accordian, percussion)(France), Andrea Bensmiller (backing vocals, guitars, electric violin, mandolin, production, engineering)(U.S.) and Marika Tjelios (bass, keyboards, guitar, samples & loops, drums)(Canada).

Reminiscent of Fiona Apple, Radiohead and Coldplay, the trio recently finished their second independent album, The Prejudice of A Certain Personality Type, which intermingles organic and electronic instruments in an experimental blend of rock/jazz/electronic with thought-provoking lyrics and a finely tuned balance between dramatic instrumental interludes and modern song-oriented rock. An occasional French lyric or rap also find their way into the Jariya soundscape.

Currently living and working in Los Angeles, as a live performing band, Jariya has been featured in Girlfriends magazine and LA Times Online, "What's Hot in LA". They have performed in Los Angeles clubs including The Whisky, The Cat Club, The Joint, Genghis Cohen and The Gig, and are currently producing a multi-media live show for debut in the Summer of 2005. They also produce film music out of their private studio and have been featured in several features, shorts and TV shows.
