Guru Upahara - in memory of late Sunil Shantha

Nipuni WIMALAPALA

He has perfected himself as a singer and musician. He prefers music other than anything.

Being a doctor who lived in England for a long time, he loves Sinhala music very much. He has held many musical shows in England to please the Sri Lankan ears in London.

Dr. Mahinda Tennakoon who is dedicated to music has organized a musical show to felicitate well known musician late Sunil Shantha.

The show is titled, Guru Upahara which will be held on June 16 at Sudarshi Hall, Bauddhaloka Mawatha, Colombo 7 at 5 pm. It would be a mesmerizing evening with music and dancing.

Visharada Mahinda Tennakoon will be the main artist of the day, who will sing many hits of Sunil Shantha. There will also be dance items arranged by Daya Jayatunga. Admission to the show is by invitation.

Visharada Tennakoon is a student of late Sunil Shantha who inherits a very similar voice to his music teacher, Sunil Shantha. He has excelled in music while being a doctor. Sri Lankans living in London are not much into Sinhala music, since there are no Sinhala musical shows. In such a time, he started singing in London and a large number of Sri Lankans were attracted by his amazing voice.
