Incomparable voice that carries the tonal mosaic
of the nation :
Fusion of technical acumen with aesthetic finery
Conversant in many traditions of music with a
tutored and a learned voice, Neela Wickramasinghe is a harbinger of
typical and unique Sri Lankan female voice with embellishments
derived from the country’s rich folk music tradition. One of her
salient characteristics throughout her career in music is her
ability to maintain signature Sri Lankan female voice without being
over influenced by Western or Hindustani music motifs particularly
when she sings songs with Western music melodies. She stirs a course
through the melody line with the intention of bringing out
sentimental and emotional properties of the melody and bringing
about a soothing effect on the notes.
