Third Global Music Awardfor<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Saliya<\/p>\n

Source:<\/span><\/strong>Island<\/a><\/p>\n

exceptionally talented Sri Lankan<\/span><\/h2>\n

Saliya Salgado (also known as Sal) was in the spotlight, in our scene, in July, this year\u2026and he is back in the news, again!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m told that Sal, who is based in Germany, is, so far, the only Sri Lankan born musician to win multiple GLOBAL MUSIC AWARDS for original music.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first Global Music Award came his way, in 2019, for his very first creation \u2018Forgiving.\u2019 The song also won the VDM-Plus German Award 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

A year later (2020), he found fame coming his way, again, when his second song \u2018Ama\u2019 picked up a Global Music Award.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"And, we had Sal in the spotlight in our issue of July 20th, 2021 \u2013\u00a0Fame for Sri Lankan\u2026in Europe.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Although the pandemic has caused problems for the music scene, the world over, Sal continues to create award-winning songs; his third effort, \u2018Out There, The Sun Is Shining,\u2019 has given this exceptionally talented artiste his third Global Music Award.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The award winners, \u2018Forgiving,\u2019 \u2018Ama,\u2019 and \u2018Out There, The Sun Is Shining,\u2019 were written, composed and produced by Sal, in his private recording studio, in Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

What makes Sal standout, from the rest, is that he wrote the lyrics, composed the melody and music, and sang all the lead, and backing vocals, and played all the instruments himself (except the drums, which were programmed, with Sal at the controls\u2026doing the needful). And, what\u2019s more, he recorded, mixed and mastered all three tracks \u2013 all by himself, in his studio in Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sal says due to his busy schedule, and mobility, as a musician and sound engineer, he had to put the creative side, of his talents, on ice, for a very long time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cHowever, I kept working on my originals whenever I had the opportunity to do so.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, Sal started his song writing career, way back, in 1986, in Sri Lanka, when he was asked to write a Sinhala song for Piero Carlo Perondi, who, according to Sal, was the first European to sing, and produce, Sinhala songs, in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPerondi was impressed with my first song, which I wrote for him, and then we both agreed to produce a cassette album called \u2018Sihalayo,\u2019which was released in1988, and included the song \u2018Polsambole,\u2019 which turned out to be very popular with music lovers,\u201d said Sal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, we had to cancel all promotions, and live concerts, at that point in time, due to the riots in Sri Lanka.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sal says he is determined to write more original songs, both in English and Sinhala.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is currently working on some Sinhala songs and hopes to release them in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
