Bayila
Bayila is a form of dance music popular in Sri Lanka, and in India its popular in Mangalore and Goa especially with Konkani speaking Christians. The genre originated centuries ago among the 'kaffir' or Afro-Sinhalese communities. It primarily utilises European instruments and rhythms found in Spain/Portugal, Sri Lanka, Africa and South India. In Mangalorea and Goa Bayila songs are played during every party and weddings and people love to dance. Bayila music, though popular as a folk art for centuries in the country, was introduced to Sri Lanka's mainstream during the early years of the 1960s when singer Wally Bastian, began adapting the 6/8 'kaffirhina' rhythms to accommodate Sinhala lyrics. By the 1970s, owing largely to the contributions of musicians MS Fernando and Maxwell Mendis, Bayila had grown to become a recognized style of Sri Lankan popular music.
