Nihal Fernando,the leader of the Musical Duo ‘Ni-Ro’ has decided to expand his band to ‘NIRO-4’ by adding a female singer and another experienced musician to the lineup.
Thilak Perera has rejoined Nihal and Virajan Bharathi joined as a guitarist while young Viroshi joins the female singer of NIRO 4.
“Both Thilak and Virajan are experienced musicians that can play the guitar and sing very well .Viroshi is a new comer to the music field but very talented both in singing and playing keyboards.
Our main target is to perform at weddings & home-coming receptions as we are specialized in handling that type of functions. We have a wide repertoire of Love songs, Wedding songs and Spirituals and special songs for Christian Weddings” said Nihal, the leader of NIRO 4.
Nihal is a versatile and experienced musician & a singer who played key-boards and guitar for bands like Sam The Man, Talk of the Town, Pearl, Ice & Fire, Golden Chimes etc.
Nihal, Thilak and Virajan were with “The Diamonds” in ‘70s while both Nihal and Thilak headed the Moratuwa Arts Forum as its Presidents. Thilak is the brain-child of the M.A.F.
“I started my solo career as a One Man Band in late ’80s. After playing key-boards with Sam The Man I formed NiRo with Rohan Manulasuriya, my original co-member of “Ni-Ro” will be my stand by musician as he is too busy with his duties as an Air Traffic Controller.
Forth- coming season will be alright for our Bands & musicians with the dawn of Peace to Sri-Lanka as music scene was badly effected by the war in past decades.” added Nihal.
