MOTOWN ....

TOWARDS THE END OF THE SHOW A FEW GUESTS HAD THIS TO SAY

Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music as an African-american owned record label that achieved significant crossover success. In the 1960s, Motown and its subsidiary labels were the most successful proponents of what came to be the Motown Sound- a style of soul music with a pop influence.

SHARON

“It was a fantastic show because I grew up with these songs. Back at home my parents used to listen to them all the time. So it was nice to relive those memories.”

FRANK

“We need to look for the bright side in every dark cloud and Sri Lanka too needs to move ahead. The music was very nice and it suits our age group well. Motown is a place where all kinds of musicians came and where many of them tested their skills.”

SUDATH

“I should thank DK Promotions for bringing this show down as this was one of the best shows I have been to.”

ANANDA

“An unforgettable experience and we really enjoyed it.”

SOLANI

“Even though we are going through a tough time we decided to come here for the music and it was worth it.”

CAREEMA

“Music has been my first love. I come from a musical family and although it was Eid we couldn’t just stay back at home. I enjoyed it to the fullest.”

YAMILLE

“It was a beautiful show.”

SHIRANI

“The songs, the dancing and everything was fabulous. I hope Damayantha will bring many more shows to Sri Lanka and give us an opportunity to enjoy the music.”

ANUSHA

“It was a fantastic concert. I didn’t realise that all these songs were The Drifters hits. So many people have sung and re-sung these songs but to see they have been original Drifters songs. It was also amazing to see them performing without a break.”

DEANNA

“The music was amazing.”
