Two versions of song -'Dumbara mitiya paeththae', from Sri Lanka

This is 20yr old Sachinthana at Derana Superstar contest.

Fabulous.

Note the village flute and that all so rare udekki. In udekki one has to tighten the strings round the drum to create change of pitch. Tough.

A real hill country song. The beguiling udekki drum too can be heard.

Easy to sing, easy to string on. Easy to dance to.
