Our Story
The journey of Sri Lanka's premier music experience, blending tradition with modern beats
Our Journey
Founded in 2010, FLASHBACK began as a small ensemble of passionate musicians with a vision to create a unique sound that bridges Sri Lanka's rich musical heritage with contemporary global influences.
What started as intimate performances at local venues quickly evolved into a musical phenomenon that captivated audiences across the island and beyond. Our dedication to musical excellence and cultural authenticity has been the cornerstone of our growth.
Today, we stand proud as cultural ambassadors, having performed on prestigious stages across Asia, Europe, and North America, sharing the vibrant rhythms and melodies of Sri Lanka with the world.
Our Mission
Preserve Heritage
To honor and preserve Sri Lanka's rich musical traditions by incorporating authentic elements into our contemporary compositions.
Global Recognition
To elevate Sri Lankan music on the global stage, creating cross-cultural connections through our performances.
Inspire Generation
To inspire the next generation of musicians by demonstrating how tradition and innovation can harmoniously coexist.
Our Musical Philosophy
At FLASHBACK, we believe music is more than entertainment—it's a powerful medium for cultural expression and connection. Our sound is characterized by the seamless fusion of traditional Sri Lankan rhythms, melodies, and instruments with contemporary arrangements and production techniques.
We draw inspiration from the diverse musical traditions of Sri Lanka—from the hypnotic beats of traditional drums to the soulful melodies of folk songs—and reimagine them through a modern lens.
This unique approach has allowed us to create a distinctive sound that resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, bridging the gap between generations and cultures.
