Utsav 2005

- South Asian Cultural Show(Held @ Montgomery College Rockville)

Our first ever performence. Begining of a new era in fusion music history. What started as a little preformance for the anual South Asian cultural show @ Montgomery College Rockville, Ultimately ended up as a band called Orienal Fusion. As a part of the south asian community, we were asked to do an event that represent Sri Lanka. Then Mohan and Akila came up with an idea to perform Stigmata's - Andura which has a background of a Sri Lankan "Wannam"(a traditional old music type in Sri Lanka). Then came along Nuwan & Shariq, bringing the idea of adding the traOriental Fusion in 2005ditional Sri Lankan drums replacing the modern drums. After that we though of mixing modern rock with our traditional sounds, which we can proudly say was a success. After a week of practice then there were 6 guys standing in the middle of MC stage wearing Traditional Sri Lankan "Sarongs" (national costume in SL) playing 3 eastern instruments and 3 western instruments and amusing the whole audience.

Hela Rangana 2007

- Sri Lankan Talent Show (Held byEducate Lanka @ Virginia)

Our third performence. Was held just a month after our second performence, January 6th 2007. Oriental Fusion 2007It was at a talent show that was held by a non profit organization called Educate Lanka. We can say that this was the event that we put a lot of effort out of all three performances that we have done. Since it was a Sri Lankan talent show, and the auidence is the Sri Lankan community around virginia and Washignton D,C area, we had to do something special and really good. So we had to add more and more stuff to our fusion.After days of practice, no proper sleep or food, we came up with a master piece, which we called The Final Fusion.
