Derrick - is my eldest brother in law- I heard him singing from my very child hood. I love his Chiquito Linda / Kalu Kelle and Chaya Mawa.

Hi Camilet,

Thanks for the info. Nice to know your BIL is Derrick. I like another song by Derrick and will upload later on.

I think Derrick sang quite a few songs for Silverline records back in the late 1970s which were composed by Stanley peiris. Any idea?

Cheers
