Jayasri bagged World Music Award - 2003
Lanka’s very own Jayasri won the first place in the ‘Astrian World Music Festival, held in Vienna, Austria in November last year. The boys were in Sri Lanka for the festive season and were seen in action at several concerts.

‘Jayasri’ took wing to fly back to Vienna as they have their commitments in Austria. The festival was held in Cultural Vienna Congress Hans Theatre. ‘There were 77 entries and they have short-listed for ten entries after listening to our original work on tap’ Rohitha Jayalath said.

‘Ahura’, ‘Amarcord’, ‘Athena Duo’, ‘Barbara Stormberger Insingizi’, ‘Monika Stadler’, ‘Nenad Vasilic’ ‘Balkan Band’, Nifty’s Salah Addin & Friends,’ ‘Son Dos’ and Jayasri were the finalists of World Music Festival.

‘The final round was the live performance round and we have to perform in front of a panel of judges. It was a great achievement for us to win this grand tittle’, Rohitha said.

‘Juliet, Lankan Raga (Kolam) and Sheela are the three songs we played for our final performances in November,’ he said. They will be in Sri Lanka with their full band to perform during this year’s festive season in December. That was Jayasri’s promise for their fans.
