H.R. Jothipala

 In the history of Sri Lankan music, one of the most popular voices among the common people...is the voice of Mr. Jotipala...it must be admitted that this personality was able to steal the hearts of young and old at that time.  That is rare... Sri Lankan hearts still love his voice even today.

 Many of Jotipala's songs were Hindi imitation songs at that time... but in the early days, Jotipala, who loved to sing, was not allowed to do so in many cases... but he was in Sri Lanka.  Even today, Kirilu is the number one popular singer... He sang to people's hearts even after years of his death and his songs are still popular among people, which reflects how close he has sung to people's hearts...
