From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He was able to sing in five languages and incorporated dancing into his act. Fernando performed in England, France, Australia, Canada, Singapore and Middle East to Sinhala audiences

Fernando was born in Mount Lavinia to Laron Fernando and Lilee Gomes on March 4. He attended St. Anthony's College, Mt. Lavinia and Christ Church, Dehiwela. Fernando studied under veteran musician J. A. Sathiadasan. He debuted as a singer with the duet, "Malak Kada Konde Gasala," done with Pushparani Ariyaratne. It was written by Karunaratne Abeysekera.

The song became popular and allowed Fernando to become a playback singer. His first song in the field, "Sili Siliye Nava Suvandak," was also a success. Fernando would eventually lend his voice to over 150 films. He also pursued an acting career appearing in over 25 films and several teledramas, most notably Udagira

Thank you Mr.Jude the whole credit goes to you and once again thank you for sharing this song with me..!!!

[madhiribis]

as Maldivian, i cannot understand the lyrics but it is close to our own language which must have sprung from Sinhalese and other close by languages. It is beautiful to listen to and has a particular beat that quickens the blood!
