Rajiv Jayaweera | Ellstandissa | Single

Ellstandissa opens with a highly expressive, rhythmically complex solo on the traditional Sri Lankan Thammattama or temple drum. Once the whole band enters, a circular and haunting melody lures the listener with lyrical beauty. At the same time, the double bass and drums play an equally important melody, polyrhythmic and contrasting by nature.
