Abstract:

This study presents a very small community within the Sinhalese context of Sri Lanka in light of academic interest: the Kaffirs. Their communal history reaches far back into colonial times, and they did not distinguish clearly from which territories in Africa these Kaffirs, an expression introduced by Portuguese rulers for slaves and servants brought to Sri Lanka from African shores, came and how they identify. Currently, Kaffirs are seen through the gaze of public writings and common biases. They are believed to have their performance styles and their strong association with the drum, dance,

Abstract:

Each ethnic group living in a world of cultural design shapes their musical traditions according to their own heritage values. Music occupies a prominent place in the cultural fabric of every community. The Tamil speaking community in Sri Lanka is an organized society intertwined with art. The religious beliefs and worships of this community formed the artistic foundation. From this, many arts such as music, dance, koothu, drama, painting and sculpture began to appear and grow. As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, Batticaloa, Trincomalee and Jaffna are the areas where the Tamil people live, but J

Abstract:

The paper has chiefly examined the vitality of the aesthetic expression of the song and music to promote inter-religious understanding among multiple faith traditions that exist in Sri Lanka from an Islamic aesthetic point of view. It can be observed that there is a growing debate among scholars concerning the contributions of the expression of aesthetic aspects of human beings, especially song, and music, and their use of them for the harmonious relationships among the divergent communities of the nation of Sri Lanka. This entails a thorough study of whether the song and music can be utilized

Although a number of Sinhala people prefer and practice North Indian music geographically, and probably culturally, they are much closer to South India than to North India.

Background Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a low-cost, high-impact intervention for people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite the high prevalence of COPD, there are currently very limited facilities to provide PR in Sri Lanka. The views of people living with COPD, their caregivers and relevant healthcare professionals (HCPs) are essential to develop culturally appropriate PR, acceptable in a Sri Lankan setting. Objectives We aimed to explore the lived experiences of key stakeholders on the development and implementation of culturally appropriate PR in Sri Lanka.

Abstract The theological theory of music, which says that music is connected with God, is a concept accepted by people of all religions. Its ideology and expectations are absorbed into religious practices as a result of the acceptance of the religious person concerned. Every ritual consists primarily of singing and praising its Lord through music. Saivism sees God as the creator of music. Islam, Buddhism, Christianity and all other religions accept singing of praise to God as their important form of worship and maintain the tradition with the corresponding structure through their actions.

Abstract:

Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean located to the south of India and separated from Indian subcontinent by a small straight. The island has been one of the major tourist attractions since antiquity. End of the protracted civil war is a blessing for the recent surge of tourist arrival and the rapid expansion of tourism facilities on the island. Although small, the island is rich in religious and cultural diversity with an immense attraction to the tourist. Buddhism is the main religion of the overwhelming majority of people even though Hinduism, Christianity and Islam are practiced side

Abstract:

This article explores the ways in which arts experiences in conflicted and territorialized settings may invite a heightened engagement with space, and what this suggests about creative experiences as a vehicle for transforming space and the (re)construction of one’s presence and place in the world. Presenting ethnographic data from two youth music projects established after the wars in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sri Lanka and argued from the perspective of musician-practitioner-researchers, the authors examine how musical interaction, improvisation, and performance creation enabled processes o

Abstract Vocal alarm calls are important to the vigilance and likely the organization of mixed-species flocks, but community-wide studies of alarm calling in flocks are lacking. We investigated which species alarm-call, and the characteristics of their calls, in a large flock system of a Sri Lankan rainforest. We recorded naturally elicited alarm calls during several attacks by Accipiter hawks and while following flocks for 10 h. We then artificially elicited alarms by throwing a stick to the side of the flock, in a total of 70 trials at 30 flock sites. The Orange-billed Babbler (Turdoides ruf

Abstract:

A perfect person is not born at birth. Just as we learn mathematics and languages, we should also become specialists in those lessons that are fundamental to living in harmony and social progress, such as respect, empathy, equality, solidarity, and critical thinking. Without these and other ethical principles that define us as human beings, it will be difficult for us to build a better world. Value education, therefore, promotes tolerance and understanding above and beyond our political, cultural, and religious differences, putting special emphasis on the defense of human rights, the pro
