About W. D. Amaradeva

Wannakuwatta Mitiwaduge Don Albert Perera (Sinhala:වන්නකුවට්ට මිටිවඩුගේ දොන් ඇල්බට් පෙරෙරා) (Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, December 5, 1927 - 3 November 2016), better known by his adopted name Amaradeva, was a Sri Lankan vocalist and musical composer. Primarily using traditional instruments like sitars, tablas and harmoniums, Amaradeva incorporates Sinhala folk music with Indian ragas in his work. Many consider Pandith Amaradeva’s contribution to the development of Sinhala music as unmatched.
