The programme you will hear30th May at the HotelGaladari, in Colombo at 7.30

PM, will arguably be unique. Livingup to its name which invariably

personifies the mystique of‘Mantra’, could possibly be unheardfusion of three great culturesbrought to Sri Lankan audiences.Maturity of each musical scorewould enhance scintillating melodywith smooth nuance of the genre of

music rarely heard in a kaleido-scope of variety appealing more toa wide cross section of musicaltastes .

Composer and producer RajKumar Bikram Jit from India whohas put together his newest albumcollaborating with Indian Classicalmusicians will be a star performerat this concert.

‘ I love the unique blend ofIndian and Irish style music ofCeltic Ragas. It has become one ofmy favourites.’ Paul McCartney

A quote unique in its possibili-ties such as presented by BeatlePaul McCartney completely out-lines what the audience would hearat the Galadari.

However, in addition to celebrat-ed musicians who would arrive fromIndia, artistic skills of local perform-ers who have carved a niche forthemselves here would also be per-forming in the fusion sounds thatwould be presented. Violinist RuwanWeerasekera , perhaps the onlyAsian musician to perform with theBolshoi . Ballet will also have starbilling. Ruwan has already producedhis special sound, easily identified,when ever he plays.

Additionally Upul MadhushankarBass and Rakitha, Latin percussion,would promise a cultural evening ele-vated to level V within that genre.

However the surprise would bestudents from the faculty ofPerforming Arts and Sciences, of theUniversity of Colombo who wouldalso be part of this outstanding per-formance.

Having seen and heard these

young persons perform last week atthe Rotary event, it would not be sur-prising if their recital would attainthat degree of achievement.Memorable in its style and exclusivi-ty.

Tickets are selling at Rs.5000. withdinner. The lower priced ticketswould not include dinner.

The organizers have ensured anevening of true professionalism.

Mantra mystique in music fusion, a programme distinctly different

What you willlisten to arefused soundsfrom threeidentified cultures;Western, Indianand mysticism of the

Call of the Mystic Kannah

Raj Kumar Bikram Jit, Celtic Ragas exponent from India will also perform

Fused sounds from three identified cultures
