Chamara Ranawaka (චමර රණවක), also romanized as Chamika Ranawaka, is a Sri Lankan singer and live performer known for his renditions of Sinhala folk and baila songs. He has built a following through his music programs and band shows, including segments billed as “Maa with Chamara Ranawaka” and “Cassette Eka with Chamara Ranawaka”, where village-rooted classics are reworked for contemporary audiences.
Ranawaka’s catalogue draws heavily on traditional Sinhala village imagery, baila rhythm, and folk-pop arrangements. His recordings move between acoustic folk treatments, reggae-tinged covers, and lively stage versions, a range that suits both televised music shows and live band performances. The material favours rural themes, paddy fields, and everyday village life, the same subject matter that runs through much of the Sinhala folk repertoire he interprets.
