Emba Ganga - Ivor Dennis - Patriotic Sinhala Song

Ivor considered to be the next Sunil Santha we have has been singing latters songs day in day out without a pin-drop difference in the voice of his guru.

I have seen Ivor coming to many literary programmes in Colombo and actively taking part. He is a true-lover of music and a patriot who sang many beautiful songs filled with patriotism.

Below words may signify all what I said before;

Following in the footsteps of his guru, Ivor never used his talent to profit for himself. He used it for others, for the country and to God. He was in charge of the music section of "Pubuduwa"-Catholic Renewal Movement and he was one of the leading lay artistes who changed the trend of inserting words into popular song to use in worship. Further his tunes had an eastern flavour and he played a pivotal role in localising church singing.

"Sunil Shantha was the greatest artiste born in this land and sacrificed his life for the principles he believed. By joining him in his journey, Ivor did great service to the country and its music," Rev. Fr. Oscar Abeyratne, the head of 'Pubuduwa' said. "Like his mentor, Ivor Denis never let himself be sold to wealth, money or any other worldly gain," Fr, Abeyratne said. (From 'Sunday Times')
