One of these is <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gZ-grz13ViE?t=30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">k\u00e1friinha<\/a>, a social square dance comprising European melodies, African and Asian groove, and Portuguese medieval poetic influences. As this music became popular across the island during the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century it resulted in further intercultural exchange which was at roots of Sri Lankan baila.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The lyrics for <em>k\u00e1friinha <\/em>songs are in <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu\/server\/api\/core\/bitstreams\/fb327d42-2e3d-4900-aa48-e9784d7c8384\/content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sri Lanka Portuguese<\/a>, a language which grew out of contact between Portuguese and local people in Sri Lanka during the colonial era. Once a lingua franca across the island it has been a mothertongue for Portuguese Burghers, Dutch Burghers and Afro-Sri Lankans since the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century.

While the clip and costuming both reflect popular tropes about the Portuguese prevalent in other baila songs (such as the delightful <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lniu8YJsVS4?t=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaprigngna by Corrine Almeida<\/a>), the music in <em>Minha Amor<\/em> also strongly echoes Portuguese Burgher culture and music history in fascinating ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The song features two Portuguese Burgher songs. The first is an old Portuguese Burgher song <em>kur\u00e1\u00e1njaniita<\/em> (also spelt <em>Coranjanita<\/em>) sometimes known in the community as <em>Chik\u00f3\u00f3ti <\/em>(instrumental version by Batticaloa musicians <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elararchive.org\/uncategorized\/IO_5cb08d63-0f21-458e-b965-f07b5ba609f2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>). It is a slow song (in a kind of waltz time) traditionally sung as a significant part of wedding rituals to this day. <em>Kur\u00e1\u00e1njaniita<\/em> is known to baila lovers through upbeat versions in tracks by <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rXYwTsosOHE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Desmond De Silva<\/a> and <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MEdhkAOCdXs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AE Manoharan<\/a> and <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RZCtitVupRs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saman De Silva<\/a>. An 1895 text described it as \u201cone of the oldest of their tunes\u201d highlighting its significance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Also in the medley is a more recent <em>k\u00e1friinha <\/em>song written in the 1970s, <em>Vii minha \u00e1moor pabayl\u00e1\u00e1 <\/em>\u201ccome my love to dance\u201d, attributed to Clarence Hendrick from Batticaloa. This song drew on the tune for the popular Sinhala baila song <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LZNOLM6E4vs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mee Wadayaki Jeewite<\/a> (attributed to C.T Fernando, Sisira Senarathne and Karunarathne Abayasekara) which was released in the late 1960s. This reflects an interesting case of borrowing back given the role of <em>k\u00e1friinha <\/em>in baila\u2019s development. Keil sings both <em>Vii minha <\/em>and <em>Mee Wadayaki Jeevithe <\/em>bringing out this melodic resemblance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>Vii minha \u00e1moor pabayl\u00e1\u00e1<\/em> is mainly performed in Batticaloa but is also known in Trincomalee. While it normally starts with the more serene chorus Keil said he wanted to do something different and started with the first verse. This lifts the song and brings out the scope of its poetry:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>f<\/em><em>u<\/em><em>ula da r\u00f3\u00f3sa, f\u00f3\u00f3ya teem veerdi, doos t\u00e1\u00e1m \u00e1\u00e1lri yanasa<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>\u00e1siley n\u00f3sa \u00e1moor yakresa n\u00f3\u00f3s teem ooy ungaley<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The rose has leaves of green and both were born from trees,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Like that our love grew and today we are as one<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_111897\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-111897\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-111897 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Minha-Amor-elanka-2-e1681144626683.png\" alt=\"Minha Amor - elanka\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-111897\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Left: Portuguese Burgher musicians from Batticaloa including Remina Andrado, Frida Sellar and Jacinta de Silva all daughters of Clarence Hendrick, his son-in-law Iva Andrado (violin), Edward Outschoorn (rab\u00e1\u00e1na) and Noel Sellar (sal\u00e1\u00e1ri) sing for the Documentation of Sri Lanka Portuguese project.
