The Dinara label and Detholaga Sinaha
were created in an effort to contribute to the enrichment and promotion of a
genre of music that is of great cultural value and significance. Our hope is
that, perhaps with the collaboration of more of us who appreciate traditional
Sinhala music, we will be able to support the creation and restoration of works
by artists who have made a significant contribution to Sinhala culture.
We feel that given the current trends within the commercial music industry in Sri Lanka, there is little opportunity for the creative growth of talented artists. Our belief is that, by providing the opportunity by way of sponsorship, we can contribute to an environment in which new talent as well as our legendary masters have the freedom to create and continue in the great tradition of Sinhala music.
