Sri Lanka is for all and hope the next president will encourage people to travel to and from Sri Lanka. There should be free movement for all people like there was in the 500 BC as in 467 BC king pandukhabya made sure the 1/4 of the city was dedicated for Greeks.
Hi Mr, Antonio Vanda, yes ! This Community of African People speak Mozambique Portuguese not Angola Portuguese but you are the only person go very close to the historical truth !
@@PieroPerondiin the music they said " you must learn, you must learn, learn with your mother". Sorry for my bad english. Im from Angola and is amazing understand a music from Sri Lanka. I can talk with those girls in their language. Amazing.
@@antoniovanda2 Eu estive em Puttalam e conversei com o Grupo Africano que os vive, e foram eles que me disseram para vir do Moçambique Português.

Srilankan Baila is derived from many cultures within Srilanka there is hint of Portuguese and Srilankan influences. Unfortunately Baila is used as a blanket term to describe any Srilankan music with a 3/4 beat. The 3/4 beat that Srilankans and most folk musician in the country side are used to are more closely related to South Indian and Tamil Dappankuthu or Kuthu folk music rather than African music when you look at the timing and style of play. The timing on the 2 sided at 1.21 drums which is called the dholak/dholki (indigenous to India and Srilanka) is a dead give away on this as I have seen no such thing in Africa itself. I also noticed the Rabana also an indigenous Srilankan instrument it is known by different names in India as well. I know this because I learned and played this style. Africans have a wonderful musical/percussion heritage and mean no disrespect to African's. While it is possible that they contributed to "Baila" in its current form not all music is derived from Africa. The probable influence I see here is their stories and language adapted to the folk style of play commonly seen in rural Srilanka in the paddy fields and tea estates.
Hi Junsu21, Yes! it is true, but it is better to learn the true story and not the stories dreamed or invented. The African community living in Puttalam does not come from the Portuguese era of Sri Lanka, this is fake news
@@johonanandrewgomes7593 IN VERY SHORTLY REPLY ! During the Second Word War, the English Army, they built two concentration camps to intern captured enemies, one in Puttalam and the other in Trincomalee. They then decided to hire staff who did not understand the English language so as not to take valuable news out of the concentration camps to any spies. So they decide to hire the necessary manpower in Mozambique, an African Country where Portuguese was spoken and also one Neutral Country under control of Portugal. So arrived the Africans of Puttalam and Tricomalee and with them also their families. The Africans were then engaged by the British in many jobs on the island.After the English era of Sri Lanka, the African communities did not return in Mozambique. All the best Piero

Sri Lankan Sinhalese people are nothing like Africans or Indians or any other race. Sinhalese are a unique race with their own language, culture, beliefs, food etc. The Tamils are obviously very close and similar to South Indians and the muslims are obvious close and similar to the Middle East because the Tamils and Muslims are not natives of Sri Lanka! Sinhalese are the only natives in Sri Lanka!
@@dimuthbhanuka1027 yes if you believe that ravana. Just saw some research that shows Sinhalese has so many similarities in genes in the subcontinent 😄
I have experience in Africa and many ethnic groups like to visit our srilankan Africa community. if any one like to share his/her contact details. inbox or whatsapp
