Protest Baila is a playlist inspired by the authentic Ceylonese baila sound, blending folk rhythm, brass, and electric guitar rooted in the West-coastal Portuguese-Burgher musical heritage of Sri Lanka.
Written, composed, and performed by Arjumann, the songs blend humor with the lively spirit of baila to reflect on the contradictions and hypocrisies of modern post-colonial Sri Lankan society.
