Baila - The favorite Srilankan Music of the Islands

Baila term was derived from Portuguese verb 'bailar' that means 'to dance'. The Father of Baila in Srilanka was known as Wally Bastian. Baila was established by Portuguese traders in the 16th century during the Sri Lanka's colonial rule. The former community of Baila singers are the mixed community of Portuguese traders, slaves they brought from the western coast of Africa, and native Sri Lankan communities. Baila music is a cultural interchange in the middle of local musicians and Portuguese music influence.

Baila is influenced by eastern and western European instruments and rhythms found in Spain and northern European fork music. Baila adapted the 6/8 'kaffirhina' rhythms with Sinhalese lyrics. In the 1970s, Baila grew out of musician M.S. Fernando and Maxwell Mendis. Baila music had grown to a recognized and respected favorite music style in Srilanka. Kaffirhina music style also referred as '6/8 time' uses bongo drums, violin, mandolin, box guitar and honky tonk piano and also uses galvanic guitar, synthesizer/workstation keyboards, octapad and drum kit.

Baila music, though favorite 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 (who was also a police officer), began adapting the 6/8 'kaffirhina' rhythms to adapt Sinhalese lyrics. By the 1970s, owing largely to the contributions of musicians Ms Fernando and Maxwell Mendis, Baila had grown to become a recognized (and respected) style of Sri Lankan favorite music.
