The Cabinet has approved to name the song ‘Danno Budunge Sri Dharmaskandha’ as a national heritage.

The song is from John de Silva’s ‘Sirisangabo’ Noorthi.

It was later sung to a record by Herman Rajapaksha as “Dharma Budunge”.

Meanwhile, it is said that Dudley Senanayake had invited Herman Rajapaksha to sing the song ‘Danno Budunge’ in a soprano opera style at a music event held for the Independence Day celebration in 1949.

It was said that the national anthem was also sung in Tamil the same year.

The Independence Memorial Hall was also opened in Torrington Square the same day.
