Dance and Drum Performance of The Sama Goodness of Rhythm in Haguenau, France at the Festival du Houblon on 18/8/2015. Very colorful, energetic, artistic and powerful show. Part 2 of Sama Goodness Rhythm Sri Lanka Fire Dance Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkqyNfgS4UU Sri Lankan dances are originally related to ritual ceremonies to celebrate the relationship to deities drive away evil spirits, allow good harvest, cure diseases. The dances of Kandy North of the country are mostly animals and are the official dances because they reflect most of national identity, the region with the most resilient to the various invaders. The Indian influence is also very present in the choreography, given the geographical proximity of the country. Their graceful body language varies the rhythm of percussion and many eddies surprise us with their mastery and speed. The troupe is a cultural institution approved by the Department of Cultural Affairs in Sri Lanka. While preserving intact the forms of traditional dance, the troupe also blossomed into a creative energy of new ideas.
