No clue what that means? Well it's Greetings in Sinhalese, one of the official languages of Sri Lanka. Why the sudden post about Sri Lanka? You shall see....
Well it's common for Mosaic to perform for show's abroad, Singapore being our favorite destination. However this time we went over the seas to an unfamiliar territory and boy did we love it!
We met our generous Sri Lankan client at a Corum event a mere week prior to performing in Sri Lanka, almost as soon as our band took to the stage he was hooked and he approached us to fly us down to Sri Lanka! Sometimes life is really good, and before you knew it Dennis, Jimmy our saxophonist and I were on a MAS plane on the way to Colombo!
Ofcourse everyone wonders how the audience will react to the performance, but night as soon as Dennis and Jimmy took to stage, the amount of positive energy that surrounded the room was out of this world!
Being a beach party and the official launch of Kapatica a Thai Restaurant in Mount Lavinia, the atmosphere, the sound, the people was a real adventure and yes given the oppurtunity we would return in a heartbeat. Sri Lankans are an uber friendly bunch and it's a blessing that their country is out of turmoil as we are able to experience the real beauty of what the nation has to offer!
Music really has no boundaries and we felt that night we made a connection with everyone, words in any language cannot express the joy we felt in making the right decision to play in such a beautiful country!
