Priya Suriyasena


Priya Suriyasena is a Sri Lankan popular vocalist and lecturer in music who embarked his music career through the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation (SLBC) in 1972.

Childhood

M.L.D. Priyadharsha Suriyasena Liyanage was born to the parents of an up-country middle-class origin, in Nattandiya in the Chilaw district. His father is late M. L. D Jamis Liyanage and mother is late A.M. Podi Manike. He was the only son in a family of three. He had his primary education at Nattandiya Primary School and completed his GCE O/L and A/L at Madampa Central College in Puttalam district.

His father was a poet from whom he got his music talent. As a student Suriyasena won several prizes after participating in musical programmes. One of them was UNESCO talent competition in which he won the first prize.

After his A/L from 1968 to 1971 he sat for external exams conducted by the government musical college ‘Heywood’ and obtained a diploma in music. Afterward he joined the government as a music teacher and recorded some of his original songs which were aired in SLBC in 1972. At this stage he shortened his name from Priyadharsha to "Priya".

Rise to fame

After the release of his first four songs Suriyasena became a heartthrob of youngsters in 1970s. His first four songs (‘Sarathasa niwa’, ‘Mata wasana’, ‘Heta davase’ and ‘Andura Andura mage’) were recorded for the corporation in 1972. ‘Andura Andura mage’ was written by Rohana Fernando and ‘Heta davase’, ‘Sarathasa niwa’ and ‘Mata wasana’ by the late veteran lyricist Premakeerthi de Alwis, and Suriyasena wrote the music for the songs.

The release of “Sudu Parevi Rena” (hit song) brought Suriyasena up to one of the top singers in 1970s bringing a controversy at the time where the Sri Lankan government prohibited broadcasting the song through radio channels for a period of time.

Mervin Perera


Mervin Perera belongs to the classical music era initiated by the likes of Amaradeva in the 1960s. He joined the scene along with his contemporaries Victor Rathnayaka and Sanath Nandasiri.

Though his first song was the evergreen number Oba Dedunna Akase in 1969, his first melody was in 1967. He studied music at the Government’s Music College and emerged as a skilled flautist following music in Western style. His songs are limited but they are brimmed with quality as well as popularity.

Early Life

Born on September 21, 1940, in Kuda Payagala in Southern Sri Lanka Mervin learnt music from his father, Herman Perera, a music master, who taught him how to hold a violin.

Following his guidance young Mervin entered the Kalayathanaya in 1959 and after six years of training, started his teaching career as a music teacher in a remote village in Ampara.

His first appointment was to Ampara Vijayapura Maha Vidyalaya and later worked towards enhancing the musical talents of many a youth at a number of schools. He was suspended for three years in 1980 and rejoined the teaching profession in 1983. He retired from teaching in 2000.

Music

Me Nagaraya Maa Oba Muna gesunu nagarayai took him to the height of popularity. Premakeerthi de Alwis and KDK Dharmawardena penned most of his lyrics.

Mervin derived most of his inspirations from the church, but he was never a person to be lured by modern trends. In fact Mervin detested rap music because he believed that that the style did not suit Sri Lankan music. He was well versed in manipulating western and eastern music into one line.

Though he was a popular vocalist he also gained repute as a talented music composer. Nanda Malini’s Me Sira Meduren, Nilambare and Hanthana Adaviye includes his music. In addition, he was also a sought after lyricist who penned songs well-loved tunes like Sihil sulan ralle.

In a career spanning almost 50 years this talented musician, lyricist and music composer has gifted the industry with a number of lilting melodies.

His songs such as Sanda midulata enawa and Me nagaraya gained much popularity among Sinhala music fans.

His son, Amal, is following his footsteps and had already proven his mettle in the music scene.

Last days

He was a member of the orchestra and had recorded around a hundred songs, several of them local hits, at the time of his death at 69 at the Kalubowila Teaching Hospital on December 7.
