Unforgettable Alfred Rose

Unforgettable Alfred Rose

Yesterday, 21 October, was the 6th death anniversary of Goa’s one and only melody king and legend, Alfred Rose.

Being a leading innovator and a prolific composer, his contribution to the Konkani stage and music is immeasurable.

Remembering Alfred Rose on his 6th Death Anniversary

Goa's Melody King passed away on 21st Oct 2003, today is the 6th Death
Anniversary, Alfred Rose may have left this world but his voice is still in our ears as we hear his songs.
Having watched him singing live in many tiatrs in Bombay n Goa, we still feel that he is around us...

Alfred Rose has a huge fan following and today, one of his greatest fans
Agnelo Fernandes has dedicated this site in his name
www.alfredrose. com The site is not fully ready yet but will be updated very soon.

Another fan from Dubai who calls Alfred his Musical hero wrote:
""today is ur death anniversary but still today ur in our hearts in our
minds whenever we listen to ur songs we feel that ur r singing live ur r somewhere around us decades have passed
for the songs u sang but still today people like to hear and sing them and will always like to
listen and sing no matter whether it is ur 6th anniversary or 60th anniversary u will always remain in our hearts ""

I am also one of his fans and as a tribute to the Meloday King, I have compiled the lyrics of 100 of his songs which
are posted on my blog : http://edskantaram. blogspot. com/ besides also having a huge compliations of his songs.

Though it is said that he has composed and sang over 5000 songs (1500 being
in English) yet there is no trace of thousands of songs. Besides the few CDs released by FC Global there are
still many songs which are with Goans on cassettes, which can now be converted to CD's. I also understand that AIR
Akashwani has a large collection of his records, and they are in the process of digitalising the same.

On this day I share with you one song of Alfred which is not yet on CD...this song with a spanish tune speak volumes
of his singing, composing and music arrangement.

and here is another one

http://ishare. rediff.com/ music/others/ maim-bhas- or-mother- tongue-by- alfred-rose/ 575836

It is also said that some of compositions of Alfred were incidents which
happend in his life...the duet song 'Tuka Soddchinam' by Rita n Alfi after the accident and
another song 'Talleacho Cancer' after he was diagnosed of throat cancer which was cured
by a miraculous doctor at Breach Candy Hospital Bombay..AƩroplanak Uzo'..death of his friend in
the AI air crash in Bandra... my hair stood when I heard him sing this song barely 3 days after the
accident.

Alfred Rose is the undisputed Melody King of Goa and no matter how many try
to imitate his voice and style, he will always be remembered by Goans forever.

Tiatr Academy Goa to preserve Tiatr Literature, Schemes, etc....

TAG to preserve Tiatr Literature: Tiatr Academy Goa (TAG) has observed that although thousands of tiatr scripts are written and staged, there are very few tiatr scripts published in the book form. TAG intends to preserve tiatr literature for posterity. This can be done by publishing books of scripts of Tiatrs, One Act Plays and Lyrics of songs, with or without music scores. TAG, therefore will publish books of tiatr scripts, lyrics of songs, one act plays, etc in book form. Interested script writers and lyricists are requested to send three copies each of the scripts of tiatr or lyrics of songs to TAG on or before 15th November, 2009.

Promotion of Tiatr music: The TAG has observed that the number of musicians playing blowing instruments such as Trumpet and Saxphone is decreasing day by day and that these two instruments are very important in the music of the Tiatr. In view of this the TAG has formulated a scheme to encourage youth and others to learn to play blowing instruments particularly Trumpet and Saxphone by providing them with financial assistance.

Documentation of the history of Tiatr: TAG felt that there is an urgent need to document the history of Goan Tiatr. It was also strongly felt that priority must be given to oral documentation with the help of old Tiatr artistes who are still living. Hence TAG has decided to document the history and experiences in the field of Tiatr by interviewing old artistes of Tiatr which includes writers, directors, actors, singers, musicians, persons involved in stage setting, light effects, background music, etc. etc. DVDs. It was also resolved to document the history of tiatr by publishing books on history, critical appreciation and on any other topics related to Tiatr, its song and music. Persons interested in taking up the work of documentation may contact the Member Secretary of TAG on phone number 9823375530 or the President on phone no. 9822170102.

Eddison's Death Condoled

19th October, 2009

Tiatr Academy Goa
Panjim

PRESS NOTE

Tiatr Academy Goa (TAG) condoles the death of the budding tiatr artiste Eddison Fernandes who expired on 17th October, 2009. Although he served the tiatr stage for a short time yet his contribution to tiatr stage was valuable.

He was a multi-talented artiste. His promising qualities in acting would have been a great source of strength for the future of Tiatr. He was a musician as well a singer too who would have been a great asset to the Konkani tiatr stage. His sudden death at a very tender age has saddened the tiatr fraternity.

TAG prays to the Almighty to give courage to his family members for the loss of young Eddison and eternal peace to his soul.

_______

A Konkani drama by Mario Menezes with his troupe and cast entitled "Ghorabeache Vantte" was staged as part of the launch of GULAB silver jubilee celebrations. 8-year old child artiste and recipient of 2007 GULAB Award winner Rioma Menezes captivated the audience with her sensational voice which brought thunderous applause. Rosy Alvares, Comedian Joana, Agnes, Lawry Travasso, Mario de Vasco, Edisson with Goan musicians Augusto de Panchwadi and James charmed the audience with their performances and laughter riots, and the king of mimicry Sheik (Xec) Amir gave his best with voices and gimmicks of famous yesteryears' singers. The audience just loved it and encore for more. Paying glorious tributes to late Fr. Freddy J.Da Costa for his immense contribution to Gulab, Kala Mogui Kuwait with Gulab Working Committee launched the silver jubilee celebrations of Goa's illustrated Konkani magazine "GULAB" with a unique ceremony on Friday, August 15, 2008 coinciding with India's independence day at the Hawalli A.C.
