Ranga Mandla is a track I composed and recorded back in early 2022. Nearly four years later, finally ready and happy to release it.

After writing the lyrics and music, I knew this was a song I wanted to share with my friend Yomal. His presence and energy of the voice were exactly what the track needed, and I’m grateful we got to bring it to life together.
Thanks to Jed Brewer who helped to give it a life.

Ranga Mandala is a reflection on the silent struggles faced by many musicians who work behind the scenes in today’s massive commercial music industry and which has been happening our decades.

It speaks for the composers, producers, session artists, and creators whose contributions are essential yet often go unnoticed and underrated. While their work shapes the sound and success of major projects, their identity as artists is frequently overlooked.

This song questions that imbalance.
Do those behind the scenes have the right to be seen, heard, and respected as artists in their own right?
Will they be remembered — not just as support — but as creators?

It’s a conversation that needs to happen.
A truth that deserves to be voiced.

සීමාවක් නැති මේ වේදනාබර සිත් කොනේ,
ඔබ මා යට කර දිව යනවා.
වේදිකාවේ ඔබ පෑ ඒ රැගුම් ගී,
මාද ආශා කරනවා.
අපි තවම අනදකාරයේ.
ඔබට මතකද මේ කතන්දරේ.

මාගෙ මතකේ ඇත ඒ මුලු අන්දරෙ
නමුදු ඇති,දැන් ඇති අප වේදනා වින්දා.
මා තවම මාවතේ,
ඔබ දැන් වේදිකාවේ මසිත හඩයි,
ඔබ රගයි, එකම රංග මණ්ඩලේ.

තත් හඩ අතරින් බේරෙන කදුලු සටහන් බොහොයි,
ඇයිද ඔබ හට නොදැනෙන්නේ?
ශේශ වූ සෑම සාරයන් උරාගෙන අපව විකුනා දැමුවේ.
දැන් අපව මතකද මිතුරේ?
සැනසිල්ලක්දෝ ලැබුවේ?

මාගෙ මතකේ ඇත ඒ මුලු අන්දරෙ
නමුදු ඇති,දැන් ඇති අප වේදනා වින්දා
මා තවම මාවතේ, ඔබ දැන් වේදිකාවේ
මසිත හඩයි, ඔබ රගයි,
එකම රංග මණ්ඩලේ
මේ වේදනා නැතිදෝ නුබට ඇසෙන්නේ?
දෙවියනේ මා අසරනයි තව.
මා තවම මාවතේ,
ඔබ දැන් වේදිකාවේ මසිත හඩයි,
ඔබ රගයි එකම රංග මණ්ඩලේ.
