A melody man at heart-by Mahes Perera Source:Dailynews No more will we see Timal Jayamanne on stage performing with a lot of interest and interplay with his regular band or helping other musicians whenever they needed the artistry of a bassist. He was a musician with principles and always walked the straight path. But now sadly, he has left behind many memorable music moments for us. Where do I begin to tell you the story of Timal Jayamanne? The first time I met him and his wife Charnez, was when they were contestants at a ballroom dancing championship, completely ignorant of the fact that he was a bassist and a very active one at that. And then when I got the many opportunities to watch and hear him play, I have to admit that as a bassist he got the most from the tunes and used the bass lines to ...

Visharada Neela Wickremasinghe’s heavenly voice signals tonal decorated artistry By Sunil Thenabadu Visharada Neela Wickremasinghe’s voice bears a signature Sri Lankan female voice, at the same time, possessing the attributes of a versatile South Asian singer, has been employed with facility in songs which music motifs were derived from diverse traits of music in equally diverse musical traditions.  Throughout her trailblazing career, Neela preserves her signature Sri Lankan female voice, particularly when she sings songs with Western melodies. At such times, she is extraordinary in her ability not to be influenced by Western, Hindustani or folk music motifs.

NADAGAMKARAYO – by Capt Elmo Jayawardena Some days ago a fellow Captain dropped in to see us at home. He was accompanied by his wife. Amidst the light conversation and pleasant chatter they mentioned NADAGAMKARAYO. Swore it was a great teledrama and that we should give a go at it. I have never watched teledramas simply because I don’t have the time to sit in front of a TV. The same goes for my wife, ultra-busy with our own dramas in life. Somehow the next day we got a break from a tight timetable and went to YouTube and watched Episode 1 of Nadagamkarayo. Then we watched Episode 2 and then 3 and 4 and 5. Now after two weeks we are at Episode 184 and well set on Nadagamkarayo to light-up our evenings. I called a dear friend. I know his taste. By profession he is the Head Honcho ...
