Maed In India

On the special occasion of Sri Lanka’s Independence Day on Feb 4th, Mae sits down with Sri Lankan reggae/dub/rock band, The Soul. They chat about the band's insistence on NOT being a cover band and making only original music (and being a broke musician in the process), the sad sad situation of Sri Lanka’s economy but also how it’s not sad and everything is perfectly fine (right?). When talking about their music it ranges from dystopian futures and reflections on political turmoil all the way to the woes of being a struggling independent artist. Oh and they teach Mae some Sinhalese too (whether it was successful or not you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out).   Song List (Audio): Dancer Wake (01:13 - 06:35) Light Bringer (25:52 - 32:27) Lucky Child (38:38 - 48:34) Grasshopper (57:16 - 1:04:41)   Follow The Soul: Instagram @thesoulsrilanka Facebook @thesoulsrilanka The Soul is:  Dave Roberts on vocals Khazim Miskin on lead guitar Uvindu Perera on bass Sarani Perera on rhythm guitar Divanka Sewmin on d
