A poet from Sri Lanka and an Irish Violinist marry Music

Pireeni Sundaralingam, a Sri Lankan poet and Colm O'Riain an Irish Violinist have got married and the couple will produce an exceptional music sounds out their joint experience of deport and migration.  The best way to introduce their marriage the musical couple’s parents meet with each other for the first time.

We were deeply worried that how our parents react because belong two different civilizations, religions and family backgrounds, says Sundaralingam. But when our parents met with each other, it was revealed that most of the things are common such as colonization, self resistance, poetry and literature and music tunes. My father said, I don’t think what you were doing, so we were concerned about. They are just like our people.

The British imperialism had declared the island of Sri Lanka as a Crown colony in 1802, only after one year the British had also added Ireland as a Colony and that crown accord led to the control of the Gaelic language in Ireland.

Mr. O'Riain says, "If caught speaking Irish, you could be sent to jail and if caught teaching it, you could be exiled." The Tamil language faced similar challenge in Sri Lanka, says Sundaralingam. From the joint colonial misery we have composed a song and poem called “Caltic Raag” in Tamil, Gaelic and English

"If I could choose the language in which I spoke to you,

I would chose the dark, red tongue of the Tamil Lands,

The yearning notes, the desert drone,

The heated hum of the monsoon rising.

If I could choose the language in which I spoke to you,

I would choose to speak in Gaelic,

The sliding scale, the susurration of breath,

The sound of water beating between us."

We both belong to the small island which is surrounded by deeper oceans, says O'Riain

I am confident that the composition of both Gaelic and Tamil were influenced by the truth

"I’m sure that the sounds of both Gaelic and Tamil were influenced by the fact they developed right there nearby the sea," says Sundaralingam.

The couple has already performed at the English National Theatre in London and the UN Headquarters in New York over and above at arts and literary festivals throughout the world. They see a natural theme of their two arts forms.

O'Riain says that "Pireeni’s poems are naturally romantic which have based of all lyrical poetry is music," "and I my most of the time has spent in Ireland where there’s a very impressive poetry association." It is said that every poet must has to go to exile within his own language and to write poetry that you have to look at the world to the left on, to experience somewhat at likelihood with the world, to watch the things with bright eyes," says Sundaralingam.

The couple has also released a CD under “Bridge Across the Blue” which conveys together musicians and writers from various cultural civilizations to advise the colonize stories of America.
