Nothing to beat Konnakol claims contemporary A Cappella artist

Lisa Young

Contemporary A Cappella and Jazz artist, musician and composer, Lisa Young has found Konnakol - a South Indian vocal rendering of wordless percussion syllables as the most detailed and structured form of that class. Lisa plays an instrumental part of two musical groups: Coco's Lunch and The Lisa Young Quartet.


Coco's Lunch is renowned for their extraordinary song-writing, skin-tight vocal harmonies and stunning live performances. Coco's Lunch has long been recognised as award-winning pioneers in the composition of innovative Australian vocal music.

The Lisa Young Quartet is essentially a Jazz/World music ensemble which explores a diverse musical expression, layering elements of different rhythmic textures and ensemble dialogue in an evocative journey of sound and song.

Kulasegaram Sanchayan, talks to Lisa Young about her musical journey and her passion for Konnakol.
