Sri Lankan music transcends borders, following its people wherever they go. Bands like Seven Notes have brought this tradition to places like Qatar, Melbourne, Toronto, and Dubai, keeping the community connected through song. In July, Seven Notes captivated Dubai with an unforgettable performance by Rajiv Sebastian. Behind the magic was Niluk Uswaththa.
Niluk, however, is not resting on his laurels. Dubai is set to host a special event, 'Memories of Milton – Live in Concert', a tribute to the beloved Sri Lankan singer Milton Mallawarachchi. Milton, who released nearly 850 songs across over 35 albums, crafted melodies that became the soundtrack to many lives - songs of love, longing, and life itself.
The concert, set for Saturday, September 26th from 8:00 PM to 3:00 AM at the Mercure Hotel, Al Barsha Heights, will transform into a space of nostalgia. Ranil Mallawarachchi, Milton's eldest son, will carry forward his father's legacy alongside Yenuli Neriah and Tharaka. Seven Notes will provide the live music, ensuring Dubai dances to Milton's timeless classics.
Niluk emphasizes that this is more than just a concert; it's a nostalgic musical journey to bring cherished memories and beloved songs back to life. Niluk promises, "26th September will be a night to remember." The success of such overseas events naturally sparks a question back home in Sri Lanka: will Seven Notes perform in Colombo soon? Music lovers in the island nation are eagerly waiting to find out.
