i m not agreeing with 1 thing, the vocalists in this generation can not even reach closer to such artists like Milton,Jothipala n Clarence. specially those artists were performed using genuine male voice though in to Hindi melodies. Once Mohamed Rafique has made a statement. Such country like Sri Lanka is too small for an singer like Jothipala.
those unforgettable melodies are still keep in our minds since previous generation. thats why the lyrics of these songs getting streaming in to our mouths during a trip or party or having fun.
One thing I must say, one of best frind told me, thats was common in even the trip in Elakiri members trip to Kandy. all of elakiri people has sang the songs of Clarence, Milton.
but i cant understand what is the "trend" in local music today.

..one day i i heard a song like dis. i cant understand what is the meaning?. what is the melody and , what are the lyrics even..
as i heard it was
mage adara landu, ay oya netha laga kandulu, sitha wada dey bandu ........
