These songs are Still Popular among our generations. We still sing these Old songs when we have family gatherings. They bring back memories of the good old days. Thanking you for up loading, wishing singers good health & happy life where ever they are.
Desmond lived at Bamba, lorenz road . he had a group wich also included Rogam his brother, Im not sure who the other mambers of the band were, any info on that?. Desmond also had a sister, I think his father was in the Govt service, they moved to OZ early sixties, Lorenz road also had other musicians like Condrad De Silva of jetliner fame and Harold Senevuiratne and his brothers one of them was Tissa the drummer in the Harold Seneviratne Combo. Anyobody can send me some contact to the Kellys?
wait i am confused this seems pretty old.. but then who is singing it? they dont sound like sri lankans,, can somebody pls explain the history behind this?
Very good lyrics, and a true story during the suns eclipse people looked at it without protection, injured their eyes and then found a oral medication taken to cure the injury and found out that the medication was not helpful other than getting them intoxicated.
It was related to a story that a young woman called Emily took the yam of some medicinal herb "Wadakaha" (It is a dark yellow colour yam) mixed with cow's milk and drank during the suns eclipse, I think this happened way back 1950's, to rejuvenate herself and look pretty and younger as predicted and prescribed by an Ayurvedic Doctor. Unfortunately, she took it overdose and started vomiting seriously until she was taken to hospital and treated.
thnx for uploading dude :)
