Hachajah puts Sri Lanka on the Global Music Map with Double Win at the CARAs

A cappella artiste hachajah wins two CARAs — the world’s premier A cappella recording awards

- 

Sri Lanka celebrates a moment of immense national pride as hachajah - the artistic moniker of Colombo-born singer, songwriter and producer Charith Peris secures two prestigious accolades at the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards (CARAs), hosted by the Contemporary A Cappella Society (CASA).

These global awards, considered the highest honour in recorded A cappella music, have previously recognised internationally acclaimed acts like Pentatonix, now a household name in the genre.

Hachajah’s debut EP, No Place Like, was awarded Best Semi-Professional Post-Collegiate Album or EP, while his poignant single Colombo Sky earned Best Song by a Solo Performer. With eight nominations and runner-up honours in two additional categories, this debut marks a breakout moment for the artiste - and a significant cultural win for Sri Lanka.
