Dambulugale (Sinhala: දඹුලු ගලේ, transl. "On the rocks of Dambulla") is an album by Sri Lankan singer Chitral Somapala, released on February 4, 2018. It is a compilation of various cover songs, previously written and performed by his parents, famous Sri Lankan musicians P. L. A. Somapala and Chitra Somapala.[1] The album was dedicated to Somapala's parents, and released on the 70th anniversary of Sri Lanka's independence.[2]
The album marked a shift in Somapala's musical career. Prior to this, Somapala only performed Western-style rock and metal, being hesitant to perform Eastern-style Sinhalese music, instead opting to create his own style differing from his parents'.[3] The popularity of the album prompted Somapala to focus on reviving the music of his parents as well, often performing them along with his own songs at live programmes.[4]
