Biography
DARIA (Daria Marmaluk-Hajioannou) is a performer, songwriter, folksinger and ethnomusicologist, with four decades of contributions to folk music and popular family music. Many of her songs like “I Have A Dream”, “Beautiful Rainbow World” and “The Earth Day Song” have been used as anthems for social justice, inclusivity and stewardship for the Earth long before these concepts became part of the public discourse. Pioneer of the genre of “World Music for children”, Daria is also known for the bilingual translations of popular folk songs in languages including Spanish, Quechua, Yiddish, Ladino as well as several others. Her bilingual family-friendly version of La Cucaracha - taught to her by a nun in Lima Peru - is a viral kids music hit on Youtube with almost 6 million views. A fierce advocate for indigenous rights and civil rights for all, Daria was born in the USA, but raised in rural South America. She has won more then 4 Parent’s Choice Awards, multiple educational and children’s music awards and has been nominated for a Grammy.
