Aviva and the Flying Penguins unleash original sound on the south
In just one year since they have been together, the musically talented Aviva and the Flying Penguins are reaching a broad audience and receiving accolades all over the south. The sound has been described as “life changing, vocally alluring and healing energy from another sun that just shines right through you.” It’s also been called “inspirational, eclectic, creative, experimental, interesting, cosmic, an enigma - like listening to magic.”
The Penguins are a revolutionary new group that transcend the average musical experience. The atmosphere they create is progressive; the music: an earthy jumble of World, Folk, Soul, Reggae, Rock, Cosmic and Gypsy sound that’s been described as “the most original sound that’s come to the south!”
“It is about creating more than music. It’s about creating space,” said Aviva, the band’s founder and lead vocalist.
With Aviva on vocals, keyboards and trumpet, Colin on the guitar, Dre on the drums, Marty on bass and Simon on djembe, the melodies created by the talented five is like a journey across space and time, yet deep into the mind and the spirit.
Simon's African drumming and Zulu vocals blend like butter with Aviva's Hebrew and gypsy beats. Like love in a bubble traveling on a sound wave – a world fusion dance jumble soul rock pop sensation. In other words, if, for any reason, you forgot your life has meaning, catch a Flying Penguin performance and be reminded.
Aviva, who is also a Qi Gong and Belly Dance instructor, complements her performance with the exotic dance and costume, adding another dimension to the already aura stirring experience.
Aviva and the Flying Penguins invite you to come out, feel the love, hear the music, join the vibe and travel with the Penguins to another dimension in music.
