Victor is a gift to the nation, he is indeed a national icon. In early 70’s victor become a sensation. Bringing a new flavor to what is called Sri Lankan music. His range fusing noorthi tradition. Indian ragas and creating a genre of authentically Sri Lankan style of music is commendable. Despite commercialization creeping in to the musical industry. Victor was one of the few artist who never bowed his head to this freed. I believe that the secret behind Victor’s ever green appeal is the fact he remains deeply rooted in the Sri Lankan culture. He is indeed a son of the soil and as a nation we are indebted to this great artiste for enthralling several generations.
