The Great Gandharvas of the Hela..

 AMARADEWA MASTER...





Don Albert Perera of WD Amaradeva alias Wanakkuwattawaduge was born on December 5, 1927.He was better known as Amaradeva than his original name. He was a great singer and violinist. He is also a well-known composer who has composed a variety of Sinhala and Indian music. That is why he is known as the great Gandharva of the Hela.


Amaradeva sang many songs,Among his songs, songs such as Sannaliyane, Kumariyaka Pa Salamba Saluna ,Aradhana, Mindada Hee Sara, Giman Harina Diyaba Digee, Hanthana Sihinaye,  were also very popular. Of those, Sannaliyane song is my favorite song. he also sang songs in films such as Ranmuthuduwa, Adata Wadiya Heta Hodai, Sikuru Tharuwa, Gatawarayo and Gamperaliya.





His voice is an indelible voice in the history of Sri Lankan music. His contribution to Sri Lankan music is invaluable. Unfortunately, he left an indelible mark on Sri Lankan music and passed away on November 3, 2016. His body was also laid to rest at the Independence Memorial Hall for three days.
