Miringuwa Parada

Miringuwa Parada (conquering the magic) a music video by Chitral Somapala was launched recently for TV airplay. Chitral Somapala who was in Sri Lanka for the launch said according to reports just 11 days after the release, the video has been viewed by more than 75,000 times on YouTube and downloaded 20,403 times on www.music.lk.

He was happy that his fans were attracted "to the powerful lyrics, the catchy tune, the power-packed musical arrangement and the high-octane visuals that epitomise the lifestyle choices of the modern generation".

The whole idea in the creation was to have a video different from his 1998 hit Nadee Ganga Tharanaya which still continues to echo successfully in Sri Lanka. He wanted the video visuals to be on a par with modern European artistry as he intended marketing the video in Europe mainly and thereby further enhance the image of Sri Lanka.

The lyrics for the song Miringuva Parada were written by Kelum Srimal while the music direction was handled by Chandresh Kudwa of India. The video was produced by Saliya Weerasekera of Artswork (Pvt) Ltd and directed by Sachith Peiris of Five Frogs Studios.

Like Nadee Ganga Tharanaya the music video will capture the imagination of thousands of fans and become a hit for the Sri Lankan born singer, song writer, composer, arranger and vocal coach.
