doest this song actually have an African tribal drum beat ?
I do not know about that, but once I remember him saying something like this is not a song of native Sri Lankans (wedi geeyak). Ya there is a bongo playing in the song. But the violin & flute parts are very closer to our music. And of cours the language.
He said that he got the rhythm for this song from a African tribal beat then they heard at a music festival that he had attended. He had used the same beat here and added the other instruments later on.I do not know about that, but once I remember him saying something like this is not a song of native Sri Lankans (wedi geeyak).
