Title: Sri Lanka Portuguese songs held by the Sri Lanka National Archive

Description: This bundle contains 3 tracks from a CD kept in the holdings of the Sri Lanka National Archive in Colombo, featuring recordings of Sri Lanka Portuguese traditional songs made in Batticaloa. These tracks appear to be part of a larger initiative to collect ethnographic recordings: the CD that contains them also contains Tamil-language songs (collected in Batticaloa as well); and an accompanying CD is described as containing recordings of Sinhala songs and speech collected in Menikdiwela - the file entitled <slparch_slna_index> is a scan of sheet with handwritten information about this collection, kept alongside the CDs. The Tamil songs were collected in 1972, and it is to be presumed that the Sri Lanka Portuguese songs were recorded on the same occasion. It is not clear who was responsible for recording this session and depositing it in the National Archives, but at least two performers (perhaps the only ones that participate in the recording session) are identified by name: John Britto Hendrick, and Joseph Yeardsley Ragel.
