Visva

This CD has my creative work which is based on Sri Lankan folk music or Sri Lankan traditional dance melodies like the Kuweni Asna. All these compositions were performed live at the Asia Society, New York, in 2005. I had researched to create different techniques for the sitar for this performance and introduced Kandyan drum (geta bera) to the West as a possible accompaniment to the sitar. Normally the sitar is accompanied by the tabla but I have shown that the sitar can accompanied by the gatebera.

I have also introduced a new fusion music style with all the Eastern and Western percussion. The music on this CD has been played in prestigious concert halls around the world like Carnegie Hall, New York; Walt Disney Concert Hall, California; Kennedy Center, Washington DC; BOZAR, Brussels; European Parliament, Beligium; Vienna Musikverein, Austria etc.
