Pemasiri Kemadasa මාස්ටර් සමරමු

Ranjith Daluwatta

A Collection of compilations of Dr Pemasiri Kemadasa Four decades of his life was dedicated to making a difference in sinhala music. Music was the zeal of his existence and his expertise spanned a variety of fields from songs, theatre, and celluloid to the likes of opera. His legacy will be treasured for years as a rare gift in the art stream of the island nation of Sri Lanka. Khemadasa led a simple life, caring a little about materialism and health. He was often seen murmuring continuously until he got his melody right. It may be ten times, and sometimes lapses over a hundred times. He claimed to have had no formal education. However his creativity is the emblem of years of hard effort, which even some qualified musicians do not possess. His is not following the tradition, but attempting to establish what is not traditional: bridging East and West.
