Rohan and Ishan De Lanerolle, two talented brothers who came to the limelight with mind-blowing vocal talents, pulled off their first live instrumental concert in Sri Lanka last Wednesday. The 90 minute concert included a brilliant selection of melodies which kept toes tapping till the end. Spicing up the atmosphere in their own style, the brothers performed unique versions of originals, driving the crowd on an exclusive musical rhapsody. 

Memoirs of BeeGees, Englebert and Elvis Presley came live making it another memorable show for the audience. They also didn’t forget to add a touch of Sri Lankan music by performing ‘Ganga Addara’, the local hit from the ‘80s. The concert was directed by Shobi Perera and the live band titled, ‘DB Squared’ comprised of guitar, bass, drums, strings, violin, trumpet, trombone and percussion.
