Galle Music Festival : Here’s What You Missed
Couldn’t make it to the Galle Music Festival cuz of the weather or the Bradby match? Here’s what went down at the Samanala Grounds. The show started on time despite the rains and moved in a really good pace, leaving no room for crowd boredom to settle in.
The Opening Act
The 2nd Act – Pulikoothu was performed by an indigenous art performing group
Sorry we couldn’t capture the entire performance but here’s a bit more of ‘Pulikoothu’
The Sandasi Beat Drummers
Karagam By Kalaimakal Kala Mantram
Kuda Mudal Kummi By Kalaimakal Kala Mantram
Soul Sounds & The Sandasi Beat Drummers @ The Galle Music Festival
The Calling: Kaveri Kala Manram, Sandasi Beat Drummers and Soul Sounds
Voices : A collaborative performance by The University of Jaffna, University of Peradeniya and The Eastern University
Tahppu By Kaveri Kala Manram
Jasa Lenchina Mudali By The Harishchandra Tukkawadu Kolam Drama Group
Karagam By The Kalaimakal Kala Mantram
This was also one of the fewer times that Sufi music was represented in a festival
Here’s part 2
Musicmatters Trans-Coastal Collective : a brilliance collaba between Musicmatters & the students from the Swani Vipulananda Institute of Aesthetic Studies.
And just before the headlining band, there were these names from the rap scene – Imaad Majeed, Shafni from Krema Diaz, Pamuditha Zen Anjana & OJ
Pamuditha Zen started off accapella
Part 2
Rapper OJ From Nuwara Eliya
They all collaborated on the final single
And finally, when the headlining band got on stage it sure was nothing short of fun & good times -thank you Raghu Dixit Project!
