Sunday, January 20, 2008

Australian singing legend Alston Koch who was born in Sri Lanka has attracted worldwide interest with his tribute song to the world's greatest bowler in the history of cricket, Muttiah Muralitharan. 'Murali' is now the world's leading wicket taker, he swept past Australian spin bowler Shane Warne's record recently when Sri Lanka played England in a 3 test match series on the island.

In London, Muttiah Muralitharan received a standing ovation when his name was mentioned at the 'We, Children of the Pearl' cultural show held at Imperial College on 15th December 2007. Murali was hailed as a wonderful example of diversity in action in Sri Lanka.

Alston Koch has recorded the only tribute song officially endorsed by Murali himself.Alston told World Music Central that he has also released a music video to go with his 'Murali' song. It has been played by radio and TV stations in three continents and been even mentioned on the BBC's 'Test Match Special.'

He is the only Sri Lankan-born singer song-writer to be signed to an international record label and have success in Australia, Asia and Europe with Platinum & Gold record status.
