MY SRI LANKA
Very nostalgic —Brings back happy memories
“My Sri Lanka” is a soulful tribute to the beauty, culture, and spirit of Sri Lanka, capturing the essence of the island through song and stunning visuals. From golden beaches to lush mountain peaks and ancient landmarks to vibrant markets, this heartfelt anthem takes you on a journey through the heart of Sri Lanka.
The lyrics reflect the deep connection between the land and its people, celebrating the island’s natural wonders, rich history, and timeless traditions. Whether it’s the ancient Sigiriya fortress, the sacred city of Kandy, or the wild beauty of Yala National Park, the song paints a vivid picture of a land that is both a paradise and a home.
As the song unfolds, we hear the call to explore Sri Lanka’s soul — to understand its history, people, and role in shaping one’s identity. The rhythm of the music matches the rhythm of the island, filled with colour, life, and harmony.
Join us in this celebration of Sri Lanka, a land of dreams, where every corner holds a story, and every step taken is a connection to something more profound.
The song can be streamed and purchased at your favourite Internet music outlet, including Spotify, iTunes, and Apple Music.

My Sri Lanka – Song written by Dodwell Keyt & sung by Siera Keyt
The chorus goes like this:
Sri Lanka, my island home
From hills to valleys, I roam.
Seeking my island’s soul
Sri Lanka, pray tell me my role
Dodwell recalls, while creating the song, his enthusiasm came alive to complete a project of making several videos about the culture, people, dance, and music of Sri Lanka. The original project was titled ‘Pilgrimage to Sri Lanka’. Dodwell
travelled several times to Sri Lanka to film various locations. He received support from Sri Lanka Tourism. Unfortunately, the video I took was in standard definition and 4:3 format, but recently discovered that AI can convert this footage to high-definition 16:9 format. It can be converted to as high a definition as 4K video.
Dodwell plans to set up a website for the videos he creates. They will be uploaded to YouTube and made available for anyone to view.
Many of the stumbling issues I had when I first started the project have now been resolved by AI. AI is a marvellous tool that can be used properly and correctly.
Dodwell will keep us informed as I progress through the jungle of video production and audio issues.
