Suwanda saban anga gaala hai hai! song.




email from J. K. S. Weerasekera  



On the link is a popular song with video 3 minutes.  by Ravindra Yasas. Have a good-speaker for clarity.
Background to song.
From the play ‘Rajakapuru’ the top drama in the 1990s.
Plot. The king of the land dies.
In the absence of  progeny, they are kingless and the next king  has to be selected among then public.

Procedure is to get the castle elephant to go from village to village and where the elephant kneels down in front of any  person, that person becomes king.

The elephant travels, goes  across a field and unexpectedly kneels down in front of a scarecrow.

The scarecrow has to be king by law however unsuitable he is for the job.
He is brought to life by the Kattadiya.
And confined to  the castle, advised by catchers, he manages knowing nothing other than the castle.
He is advised to get married for propriety.

Drums are rolled, kaviyas are sung in the search.
And -everybody- all the women vie to be queen.
The singer describes how the women competed.
Bathing, application of aromatics, hair, body decorations etc. etc

At the contest the king selects an eunuch to be queen.
This theme was a pointed satire at the incumbents then in the country. We appreciated and agreed.
