Your live singer in Colombo

Colombo lies on the west coast, a city of Dutch, Portuguese and British layers, with the Pettah market, the Gangaramaya temple and the Galle Face promenade. Its Tamil, Sinhala, Muslim and Burgher communities share the city, and its Indian community includes Sindhi and Gujarati traders who have lived here for generations.

The city’s five-star hotels host weddings, conferences and charity galas, and Mount Lavinia’s seaside venues have a long tradition of live music. Cultural events such as Deepavali and Navratri are celebrated by the Hindu community.

A set of Hindi film classics, ghazals and Sufi songs suits the Colombo audience, and a few Sinhala or Tamil songs show respect to the host country.

The year in Colombo

December to April is the dry season. The April New Year, Vesak in May and Deepavali are the festival highlights. The south-west monsoon brings rain from May to September.

A set list for a Colombo evening

A hotel dinner might use Hindi melodies, a short Sufi block and a closing sing-along such as Dil Chahta Hai. A Hindu community evening begins with bhajans, and a charity gala suits recognisable favourites.

Getting to Colombo and setting up

Bandaranaike airport is about thirty kilometres north of the city, and the expressway to the centre takes around forty minutes. Hotels supply ballroom sound, and events on Poya days, the monthly full-moon holidays, have restrictions on alcohol and sometimes on music. The organiser confirms the calendar.

Venues and practicalities in Colombo

Receptions in Colombo use the ballrooms of the hotels along Galle Road and around Galle Face, the colonial venues of Cinnamon Gardens and the seaside at Mount Lavinia. Larger Hindu and Tamil community festivals use halls in Wellawatte and Bambalapitiya, close to the temples.

Afternoon showers and humidity are part of the year, so evening events are indoors or under cover. Hotels provide sound and a technician, and the band brings its own instruments. Poya days, the monthly full-moon holidays, limit alcohol and sometimes music, so the date is checked against the calendar first.
