Shanika Wanigasekara (ශානිකා වනිගසේකර, also spelled Shanika Wanigasekera) is a Sri Lankan playback and cover vocalist whose recordings span devotional numbers, film and teledrama songs, and popular Sinhala melodies. She is widely heard through download and streaming portals such as Apple Music, Hiru FM and SARIGAMA, and her catalogue mixes her own singles with carefully sung versions of well-loved classics.
Shanika Wanigasekara built her audience through a steady output of singles and album tracks rather than a single breakthrough hit. Her releases include the album Mangala Nakathe and a body of devotional and patriotic recordings such as Sthuthi Sri Lanka and Me Ape Deshayai, alongside newer studio work like the Pini Wahena versions and the album Sudu Olu Malak.
A large part of her popularity comes from her renditions of established Sinhala favourites, which makes her a familiar voice for listeners searching by song title. Among the recordings she is known for are duets, including Oba Mage Sihine Sanda Wewa with Dinesh Nanayakkara and Oba Mauwe with Jude Rogans.
Each of these pages presents the song in Sinhala script with an English transliteration (Singlish) and a translation, so a listener can follow Shanika Wanigasekara’s recording line by line and understand its meaning.
