  • 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.

  • Joint Bulletin – Rotaract Club of Bombay West
    By Rotaract Club of Bombay West and the Rotaract Club of Achievers Lanka Business School RID 3141 RID 3220 Rotaract Club Of Bombay West, today, is one of the most successful clubs in Mumbai having ranked towards the top in District 3141 repeatedly due to its innovative projects and work ethic of its members. Currently holding the tag of the Best Community Club in Mumbai District. However, every big achievement has its small beginning. Ours began on 19th April 1969 as the youth wing of the prestigious Rotary Club of Bombay West, the first baby club of Rotary Club of Bombay itself! Having been dormant for several years, the club was revived in 2017. With the new generation taking over and with fresh ideas and perspectives, Rotaract Club of Bombay West delivered quality in terms of their projects.Today, Our Signature Projects are known in the district and we strive to maintain the quality at the same standard. The Rotaract Club of Achievers Lanka Business School was chartered on the 10th of March,2010 under our parent club, The Rotary Club of Colombo Mid Town. The club is based in one of the leading ACCA & CIMA tuition providers in Sri Lanka and is the first and only CIMA institute with its own Rotaract Club. The club is now in its 12th year, with many successful projects to its name. Within just 11 years from inception, Rotaract club of Achievers Lanka Business School now stands toe-to-toe with several clubs that have been in existence for approximately 30 years. Despite the relative inexperience, the club, guided by able hands of distinguished past presidents has built up a reputation of carrying out one successful project after the other.

  • Western Music
    Western Music Grade - 13 Teacher’s Instructional Manual (This syllabus would be implemented from 2010) Department of Aesthetic Education National Institute of Education Maharagama FOREWORD Curriculum developers of the NIE were able to introduce Competency Based Learning and Teaching curricula for grades 6 and 10 in 2007 and were also able to extend it to 7,8 and 11 progressively every year and even to GCE (A/L) classes in 2009. In the same manner syllabi and Teacher's Instructional Manuals for grades 12 and 13 for different subjects with competencies and competency levels that should be developed in students are presented descriptively. Information given on each subject will immensely help the teachers to prepare for the Learning - Teaching situations. I would like to mention that curriculum developers have followed a different approach when preparing Teacher's Instructional Manuals for Advanced Level subjects when compared to the approaches they followed in preparing Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary curricula. (Grades 10,11) In grades 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 teachers were oriented to a given format as to how they should handel the subject matter in the Learning - Teaching process, but in designing AL syllabi and Teacher's Instructional Manuals freedom is given to the teachres to work as they wish. At this level we expect teachers to use a suitable learning method form the suggested learning methods given in the Teacher's Instructional Manuals to develop competencies and competency levels relevant to each lesson or lesson unit. Whatever the trarning approach the teacher uses it should be done effectively and satisfactorily to realize the expected competencies and competency levels.

  • The Sri Lankan Post-Modern Consumer
    The Sri Lankan Post-modern Consumer Uditha Liyanage Abstract The seemingly opposing socio-cultural forces of traditionalization and modernization have to be closely recognized in our attempt to profile the emerging Sri Lankan-consumer. The force of traditionalization gathered momentum in the post-1956 period, while the impetus of modernization was felt particularly in the post-1977 period. Escaping the attention of many, the two forces of traditionalization and modernization have been converging, over the recent past, giving rise to the post-modern consumer. The chief implication for marketers in this regard is to find focal areas of fusion, and avoid an attempt to either hark back to the past for its own sake, or become overly modernist, and thus address only a small and alienated group of consumers, at best. Discerning the fine line of fusion between the traditional and the modern impulses of the consumer is the challenge that the Sri Lankan marketer encounters. He also needs to identify the disparate socio-cultural and urban-rural groups that are variously impacted by post-modernist tendencies, which the marketer can ignore at his peril. Indeed, postmodernism appears to be a megatrend that has begun to unfold across the Sri Lankan market place at varying levels of intensity. Key Words : Socio-cultural forces, Traditionalization, Modernization, Sri Lankan consumer, Post- modern consumer, Socio-cultural and urban-rural groups, Post-modernist tendencies, Post modernism, Sri Lankan market play. Dr. Uditha Liyanage is Director, Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM). He is also a leading consultant and developer of managers, and sits on the boards of a number of leading companies.
