Decibel Exclusive : Performances From The YES Home Grown Awards 2017
Last year saw the 3rd edition of the YES Home Grown Awards take place at the Stein Studio’s Ratmalana and it sure was home to quite a few historic moments and stellar performances.
The awards show was kicked off with a special show that was a collaborative effort between The Electro Doctors, Antoinette Wheelan & Ridma Weerawardena.
Kicking off the second performance of the night were Paradox Legion with their YES Home Grown #1 – Rise Above and yes, this is a very different version done especially for the awards night.
Natasha Rathnayake sure did take over the stage with a performance that was probably the longest the award show has seen in a while and one that featured all her monster hits, including the ones in the running for awards that night – “Set You Free” & “Shake That”. The performances also saw Rohitha from Jayasri & her band of dancers – The Island Stompers.
Naomi Wijemanne was backed by The At Last Project for a chilled out take of her award winning single ‘Wake Up Little Dreamer’
Ending the show was another collaba – Dj & Producer Selectro, Flute master Roshan Yaheya & that prolific Perera – Eshantha. It was a pretty epic take of Selectro’s original ‘Krishna’.
