Neville Fernando Sandra Edema & Nimal Mendis - From The Film Kalu Diya Dahara

Review by Miguel León

The album "From The Film Kalu Diya Dahara" by Neville Fernando Sandra Edema & Nimal Mendis is a soulful and heartfelt collection of songs that captures the essence of Sri Lankan culture and tradition. The album features a variety of musical styles, including traditional Sri Lankan folk music, classical music, and modern pop.

The vocals of Neville Fernando Sandra Edema & Nimal Mendis are stunning and powerful, conveying a range of emotions from joy to sorrow. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with a wide array of traditional Sri Lankan instruments, such as the sitar, tabla, and harmonium, as well as modern instruments like the guitar and keyboard.

The songs themselves are beautifully crafted, with lyrics that tell stories of love, loss, and hope. The album's standout tracks include "Kalu Diya Dahara," "Sitha Handai," and "Sihinayaki Re."

About Neville Fernando Sandra Edema & Nimal Mendis

The late Neville Fernando was a versatile singer and acoustic classical guitarist and singer in Sri Lanka. He burst into the music scene in Sri Lanka with his group Los Caballeros in the sixties and became of the most successful groups in the country. It is his artistry with the classical guitar he played, and singing, that was the hallmark of the music that the Los Caballeros produced. Later, Neville went into composing music for films and vocals such as the famous "Bandun Piri" for Lester James Peries directed "Ransalu" in 1967. He died in the late seventies of leukaemia. The last song he sang was Master Sir for the late Manik Sandrasagras film Kalu Diya Dhahara ( A Column Of Black Water), a film that was a turning point in the history of cinema in Sri Lanka. When the song was played on Radio Ceylon (Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation) as a tribute to Neville Fernando there were over 500 requests the next day. The song went on to be a hit in South Asia. It still is.
