I knew I wanted to choose Sri Lanka because, if I am being honest, Nicki Minaj rapped about it once. Though when I went through traditional and important songs from Sri Lanka they were all by men, which I found upsetting. So I went down a deep dive of female artists from Sri Lanka, and I ended up stumbling upon Subani Harshani Muthukumarana, who had a beautiful voice and beautiful songs, it was lively and dance worthy. It did seem like there was more of western influence when it comes to the music especially instrumental, it wasn’t live but it was recorded and the vocals were being recorded. This was much more modern compared to other videos we have discussed as a class.
