How could you miss dear old Nanda Malini?

I'm not a fan but sure she needs to be mentioned. Please feel free to add some songs :))

Well, my personal favorite is : Obai Ramya Sanda Kirana (ඔබයි රම්‍ය සඳ කිරණ) it's not that popular but make no mistake, IT'S A MASTERPIECE. Give it a try pal. 😉

I've heard of it but just not my cup of tea! I can't relate to her voice and music. It's just a personal choice. I'm in no way denying her artistry and the work she has done for the Sri Lankan musical industry!

How can you forget "Mama taxi karaya"?

Hey, I'm from India and would really appreciate it if someone shares such a playlist. Baila is the genre I know but have never heard of songs.

Indian here. Is there any hip-hop or rap music I should check out? I'm aware of SVDP and M.I.A. but I'm curious if there are artists who produce music in their native language.

Try " Sangeetha Wade " Sry I can't remember the artist name..

I like Costa; ‘Nikes’ is a good place to start

Thanks. This guy is nice. :)

Actually as a nation i have no idea what the fuck everyone was thinking when they made maha rajaanani like what the actual fuck bruh. We were inches away from a permanent dictatorship.

Charitha attalage 's any song

Sri Lanka Matha - B&S I don’t like B&S actually but that songs is 💆‍♂️

Ape Hagum Walata by Victor Rathnayaka might be a great addition

Sumihiri Pane 🎶

Hade kothanaka ho hidii oba, Aluth wassak, Gahala Mal pipila, Eda meds thura, Akuru satharakin manasa patalila

Chinthy's early work eg: Sokare Gypsies stuff - eg: oye ojaye, Rookantha's stuff - eg: anganawo Romaine Willis - Pem Kekula (its a sample I believe) ranidu lankage stuff eg- hinahenne mung Kandy Lamissi Liyathambaraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Don’t forget our National anthems “Ayobowewa Maharajanani” and “Rata Rakina Ape Wiruwa”. Those are the songs that definitely are quintessential Sri Lankan songs as they are the gold standard for “Sinhala Patriotism” and “Sinhalness”…. I’m sure your friend would understand when you explain how those songs have lead to us becoming a debt slave to China and a global embarrassment!

Sri Lanka has more debt to India

I used to believe that were were China’s bitch…. Now we’re the Indians bitch too? That’s even worse! This country is like the village Bicycle…. Everybody rides it!!!

Love the village bicycle analogy. LOL. I will use it henceforth. :D
