Minister T.B. EKANAYAKE Minister of Culture and the Arts Culture and the Arts are a strong medium for bringing together diverse cultures. Music, dance and drama have a common language, which binds people of different cultures. The underlying spirit of the field of Culture and the Arts is to promote understanding among people and, in turn, bring countries and communities closer to each other. France, like Sri Lanka, has numerous traditions in the Arts dating back to many centuries. France has imbibed modern trends into its rich tradition of Arts and has much to offer to the rest of the world. Many French artists who attended the best French Art Institutions are today world-renowned professionals. Their creations occupy a central place in the global arena. This cultural festival will provide local audiences the opportunity to discover a high quality contemporary artistic experience. Therefore, I warmly welcome and appreciate the presentation by the Embassy of France of the French Spring festival to Sri Lanka for the third time. The French Spring Festival, which will be held this year from 19th June to 15th July in Colombo, in Galle, in Matara, in Kandy, in Jaffna and even in Malé, will be open to all in Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka like in many other countries, the French Spring Festival has become an annual event.

  • An Overview About Different Sources of Popular Sinhala Songs
    AN OVERVIEW ABOUT DIFFERENT SOURCES OF POPULAR SINHALA SONGS Nishadi Meddegoda Abstract Music is considered to be one of the most complex among the fine arts. Although various scholars have given different opinions about the origin of music, the historical perspectives reveal that this art, made by mankind on account of various social needs and occasions, has gradually developed along with every community. It is a well-known fact that any fine art, whether it is painting, sculpture, dance or music, is interrelated with communal life and its history starts with society. Art is forever changing and that change comes along with the change in those societies. This paper looks into the different sources of contemporary popular Sinhala songs without implying a strict border between Sinhala and non-Sinhala beyond the language used. Sources, created throughout history, deliver not only a steady stream of ideas. They are also often converted into labels and icons for specific features within a given society. The consideration of popularity as an economic reasoning and popularity as an aesthetic pattern makes it possible to look at the different important sources using multiple perspectives and initiating a wider discussion that overcomes narrow national definitions. It delivers an overview which should not be taken as an absolute repertoire of sources but as an open pathway for further explorations. Keywords Popular song, Sinhala culture, Nurthi, Nadagam, Sarala Gee INTRODUCTION Previous studies of music have revealed that first serious discussions and analyses of music emerged in Sri Lanka with the focus on so-called tribal tunes. The tunes of tribes who lived in stone caves of Sri Lanka have got special attention of scholars worldwide since they were believed of being some of the few “unchanged original” tunes.

I am quite pleased to have been able to achieve a substantial development of human and physical resources in this university during the year under review. Even though the necessity of a building complex severely affected the University, in the background of the then administrators failing to pay any attention in this regard, I recollect the manner in which necessary action was taken by me in this behalf whilst holding preliminary discussions with Mr,.Ariyaratne Kaluarachchi, the then Senior Lecturer, even though I did not hold any appointment at that time. It should be necessarily stressed here that the foundation for the “Albert Crescent Building Complex Development” was laid based on our personal requests made to Mr. S.B.Dissanayake, Minister of Youth Affairs, Sports, Rural Development and Samurdhi in the then United Front government, during discussions held with him and through his intervention. As the incumbent Vice Chancellor of this University, I was provided with the opportunity to expand its preliminary stage which started with 300 million rupees to be developed up to 870 million rupees later as the Faculty of Music building, administrative wing and the common student center, with the appointment of Mr.S.B.Dissanayake as minister in charge of my ministry itself.

  • Presskitsanath 2
    Press Kit EKAMATH EKA RATEKA A faceless fantasy dipped in scheming life journeying across endless time in search of a silver screen to unfold the story of one woman and two men. Based on Emile Zola’s short story Pour une nuit d’amour (For A Night Of Love) tucked away somewhere, sometime with an undefined destiny. An extra-ordinary take ; of an ordinary life ! A film by Sanath Gunatilake Produced by Janaka Ramanayake 1 EKAMATH EKA RATEKA Synopsis : The film EKAMATH EKA RATEKA ( Once Upon a Time) is based on the story Pour une nuit d’amour written by the French novelist Emile Zola (1840-1904). The young ravishing girl from an elite family whose strong character and headstrong behaviour make her parents unhappy. They send her abroad to complete her studies hoping that it would change their daughter’s strange behaviour for the better. The young girl and the nanny’s son who becomes a lawyer later on with the help of the noble family, build a strong friendship from childhood. The parents are trying to find a suitable partner to their young daughter who has come back after completing her studies. The young girl and nanny’s son are falling in love. The nanny‘s encouragement and the blessings strengthen the young couple’s love. Meanwhile the young girl falls in love with the music played by a hideous looking middle aged man who lives in the neighborhood. Her passion for the music leads her to a magnificently melodramatic climax as this man imagines that this young girl loves him and his entire existence builds around the young girl’s love.
