W. D. Amaradeva Official
Pandith Amaradeva (1927–2016), born Wannakuwattawaduge Don Albert Perera, was an esteemed and highly influential Sri Lankan musician. He was born in the coastal village of Koralawella to a gifted Buddhist carpenter, Wannakuwattawaduge Don Ginoris Perera and his Methodist wife, Balapuwawaduge Maggie Wesliana Mendis. He grew up with four brothers and two sisters in a multi-religious home full of music and often enjoyed going to the sea to listen to fishermen’s chants.
He later reflected upon the rustic simplicity of rural life in his songs which were full of musical and literary allusions to traditional Sinhalese culture, in combination with other musical forms from East and West. He explored Sri Lanka’s musical heritage and was also inspired by his wife Wimala Amaradeva, herself a gifted folk singer and dancer. He is loved by Sri Lankan music connoisseurs for his contribution to Sri Lankan Art Song (Sarala Gee), as well as the music he produced for films, ballets and stage dramas.
