ABOUT
Ceylon Nada Foundation
The Ceylon නාද (Nada) Foundation draws its essence from the profound meaning of "Nada" – sound, resonance, and vibration. Our foundation is built on the belief that music is a universal language capable of healing, uniting, and inspiring.
With our flagship initiative, the BeatRoot Collective, we aim to transform Sri Lanka into a global hub for cultural diplomacy, music innovation, and social change. Rooted in Sri Lankan traditions and inspired by global narratives, the Foundation serves as a platform for collaboration, creativity, and connection.
Our Philosophy
Rooted in Tradition,
Powered by Innovation
At the heart of the Ceylon නාද (Nada) Foundation is the belief that sound transcends boundaries. Derived from the Sanskrit term "Nada," which means the primal sound of the universe, our foundation celebrates the profound connection between music and humanity. Every vibration tells a story, and we are here to amplify the voices of tradition, innovation, and resilience.
Our mission goes beyond mere performances—we aim to inspire, unite, and transform. By creating spaces where musicians, creators, and communities can come together, we foster a global dialogue rooted in mutual respect, creativity, and social impact. From the sacred beats of Sri Lanka’s ancient drums to futuristic soundscapes, we explore how music can bridge divides and cultivate harmony.
