Reliving Konkani's greatest hits
TNN 10 August 2009,

PANAJI: Goans can now sing along with their preferred singers as all time Konkani favourites like Cathrina', Claudia', Bandra Festak', and other hit
songs of the yesteryears have been put together in one book.

Original hits of the last 50 years are available, in Konkani, besides some popular Portuguese and Swahili songs too, have been compiled by non resident Goans from Toronto, Canada, Francis Rodrigues. Unavailable music of the likes of Chris Perry, Frank Fernand, M Boyer, Alfred Rose and others is now available - transcribed note-for-note.

The songs include Adeus Korchea Vellar', Lisboa', Kampala', Sacrament Zoddlo', Mollbailo Dou', Malaika,' Maria Isabel,' Encosta Tua Cabecinha', Cecilia', Mogacho Divo', Proud to be a Goan', and others.

Besides the lyrics, the compiler has provided the chords for the songs. Not only have these been annotated to the music, but intricate chord-diagrams have been supplied for each song, making it easy for the musician.

According to Rodrigues, himself a musician and a lawyer by profession, the songs can now also be accompanied by harmonic instruments without sheet-music like the piano, accordion, keyboard and guitar. For bands and musical groups worldwide, separate music in tablature form for the guitar have been included.

Besides maintaining the originality and authenticity of the lyrics, there are cross-references from myriad sources, conveying the composer's intentions and the background of each composition.

"Each song has not only been accurately translated, but the translations have been set to verse/rhymed. Not only can the songs be poetically resung in English, but can bring the original music to the doorsteps of the world," says Rodrigues.

The book also includes programme notes, original and detailed historical liner-notes and anecdotes. "It has been painstakingly cross-checked and researched from numerous sources," said Rodrigues.

Other than the book, which can come handy to any music lover, a free DVD is a priceless bonus. "All the songs have been filmed and performed by Canadian jazz pianist Victor Martins. So that can help anyone to observe closely how to perform the music."

Greatest Konkani Song Hits (Vol I)' was released on Sunday by NRI commissioner Eduardo Faleiro, who lauded the efforts put in by Rodrigues for the book, which he said will help Konkani reach every nook and corner of the world.

Konkani writer Tomazinho Cardozo said the book will boost the language across the globe and it will help keep alive traditional Konkani culture among Goans scattered worldwide. The book is being released worldwide for World Goa Day on 20 August.

Konkani VCD "DUKHAM" by Querobina Carvalho

Comedy Queen Querobina Carvalho - Quero to friends - launched her first
songs and jokes Video CD entitled 'Dukham' (Tears) at the Goa Day event on
9th November 2007 in Kuwait.

Querobina has transcended Goa's stereotype stage style to become one of the
finest actresses of this generation against all odds. She is undoubtedly a
superstar and on a pedestal equal to legendary celebrities of the stage.
Querobina is perhaps the only actress who can do comedy as well as tragedy
roles and at the highest standard at that, and sing with a voice that can
melt stone hearts.

The Video CD produced by Music House (Mapusa) and music composed by famed
Goan musician Norman Cardozo, consists of a selection of songs and jokes.

Querobina has the distinction of winning 3 straight Kala Academy awards as
the Best Singer of Goa from 1973 to 1975. Acclaimed as one of Goa's popular
comedienne and an actress for enacting tragedy roles, Querobina has
tirelessly served Konkani stage even after landing in Kuwait. The
multi-talented star recently featured in the first Konkani E-Cinema 'BLACK
Nhesop Atanchem Fashion' produced and directed by T-Bush.

Querobina is a singer with an eloquent voice and has to her credit several
songs in Konkani CDs, video films and audio albums. She has sung in
approximately 39 audios and features in 8 videos. Her first Album 'Dhinvas'
was a runaway hit. Not too long ago, Querobina presented her first Konkani
album "Tragedy Queen" dedicated to her favourite stage actress Ophelia
Cabral.

Querobina's first step on the stage was at the age of 9 years where she sang
her first solo at St. Aloysius High School. Querobina's rise to fame began
with her 'first break' on the professional stage in A.M. Pacheco's drama
'Mr. Romeo' and 'Odruxtt' in 1977. Querobina labored long in the field of
different roles for Patrick Dourado's 'Soth' and the second ever ladies show
on Konkani stage 'Oxem Ghoddtta' before her acting in Goa's mega hit dramas
showed the extent of her brillance and talents. She soon went on to act in
A.M.Pacheco's 'Don Roste', 'Vis Vorsam Adim' and Nelson
(Nelson-Conception-Anthony) Alphonso's 'Asro.' In 1978 she joined Patrick
Dourado's troupe that brought her recognition as a professional artiste and
also the title 'Comedy Queen Querobina' for his drama 'Ostori'.

The greatness of her acting came forth again in performances of Patrick's
tragedy hit 'Lok Sangtolo', and M. Boyer's 'Mog Kazar Divorce'. Soon she was
pulled in Bombay by late Bab Peter to act in an all Bombay professional
group in 'Guneaum Mhozo Nhuim'. Later, she performed mostly comedy roles in
Prince Jacob's productions. Die-hard tiatro fans have followed her career
closely, watching her metamorphose into one of the State's most recognized
faces on the Konkani stage. Her numerous other acting credits include
Patrick Dourado's superhits such as "Oxem Ghoddtta", "Ghatki Bhoinn",
"Bhavacho Cheddo", "Familik Vollkona", "Lok Sangtolo", "Tem Mhojem Soirem",
"Dev Borem Korum", "Tin Fogotteache Marann", "Varem", "Noketr", "Patok",
etc; C. D'Silva and Patrick Dourado's joint venture 'Mannkam Motiam', 'Mog',
etc.

Querobina featured in approximately 27 different dramas of Patrick Dourado
and later acted in shows of Conny M. D'Silva, Vitorino Pereira, Master Vaz,
legendary late Rosario Rodrigues, Menino de Bandar, etc. Prominent hits
that she acted are late Bab Peter's 'Mijas', 'Guneanv Mhozo Nhoim', 'Tuka
Kiteak Poddlam'; Robin Vaz's 'Biatin', 'Chamcha'; late C.Alvares' 'Xezari
Kombo' ; late Jacinto Vaz's drama 'Sukh ani Dukh'; Wilmix's 'Sonvsar ani
Sorg'; Roseferns' 'Tuttlele Dhaage'; and Prince Jacob's superhits 'Pavnnek',
'Ponvot', 'Pordexi', 'Poltodd', 'Pangddo', 'Pergao', 'Poixe-Poixe', etc.

Querobina has also sung and rendered her voice in 56 folk plays on All India
Radio (AIR) - Goa which were a major source of entertainment for public
before the advent of television in Goa in the wake of the 1982 ASAID. As a
comedienne Querobina has acted alongside famous artistes of Konkani stage
that include Comedian Dias, Comedienne Platilda, Comedian Philip, Comedian
Domnic, Augustine, Sherly, Sally, Comedian Jesus, Luis Bachchan, Nelson,
Ben, Ambe, X. Almeida, M. Boyer, Jacinto Vaz, Titta Pritto, Tony Martins,
Paul Romy, Hortencio, late Luis Dias, etc. She was a darling of the crowd in
Prince Jacob's shows alongside Jacob and Humbert.

Born to Andrew Carvalho and Arcangela Fernandes and coming from the
beautiful coastal village Majorda, Querobina grew up with her younger
brother Anthony. It was in celebrated director M.Boyer's drama 'Mog Kazar
Divorce' that she first toured the Middle East and made the trip again for
another 5 times in Prince Jacob's shows. Recalling her overseas tours
Querobina underlines "In 1989, I performed in London for Prince Jacob's
'Painem' and 'Pergao'; my first trip to Kuwait was in Mario de Majorda's
"Sambau" drama staged in 1994 at Keifan Hall." The much in demand actress
also toured Dubai and Bahrain for Jose Rod's "Mauli" and for Comedian Philip's
drama 'Hem Kazar Koslem?', and also traveled to Qatar, Bahrain from Kuwait
to act in dramas on several occasions. Querobina's 'residency' in Kuwait
has been hailed in the media by many Goans as a gift to Kuwait Konkani
lovers but the void created by her absence in Goa is missed by thousands.
Since her arrival in Kuwait in 1995 she has acted in various dramas directed
by Jose Rod, Rosary Ferns, Comedian Philip, Mario de Majorda, etc. Most
recently, she has acted for the shows directed by Salu Faleiro, Simon
Gonsalves, Francis de Tuem, etc. Indisputably, a multifaceted actress like
Querobina would have been hailed as a "top star" had she been acting in any
other language dramas. The artiste has been felicitated in Kuwait by
Konkani Heritage Kuwait (2000) and United Club of Utorda (2007) and in
Bahrain at the staging of Anthony Luis Fernandes' show. After a gap of 22
years, she had performed in July 2007 in Goa for Laurente Pereira's 'Hea
Gharachim Dharam Bondh' tiatr to a thunderous ovation.

"The audience has accepted and appreciated me as an actress. I am sure the
latest video of songs and jokes will be a joy of tears for the Konkani
speaking masses", stated Querobina.

Trikaal (1985) (Past, Present and Future) is an Indian movie written and directed by Shyam Benegal, set in Goa during the early 1960's (pre liberation) Period. The film starred yester years actress, Leela Naidu, in a comeback role after many decades.

The film was selected for the Indian Panorama at Filmotsav 1986, and for the Indian Film Retrospective, Lisbon 1986. It was later invited to the London Film Festival 1986 [1]

'Konkanising’ Place Names

'Konkanising’ Place Names

Varde Valaulikar, the Shakespeare of Konkani literature who wrote 22 books between 1919 and 1968, including 11 translations of Shakespearean plays and the Bhagwat Gita, proclaimed that Purn-Swaraj would not be complete without the full emancipation of the Konkani language.

Forty-eight long years have rolled by since Liberation. Many of us abroad are showing signs of a new Konkani consciousness, by speaking Konkani in Goan conferences and social gatherings. Now the time has come to ‘Konkanise’ the names of our villages etc.

Just as the state has changed the name ‘Ilhas’ to ‘Tissuadi’, and ‘Panjim’ to ‘Panaji’, we call upon the various Konkani academies and associations to join hands, and plead for the official changes of place names, to say ‘Fonddem’, ‘Diuchele’, ‘Sallgoam’, ‘Murgoam’, ‘Saxtti’, ‘Moddgoam’, ‘Kunkolle’, and so on.

KONKANI MUSIC
Emiliano sings

EMILIANO da Cruz, the Goan violinist of repute, has entertained lovers of good music of several countries over the years. Having groomed himself for a musical career, he eventually led his own band, which regaled guest of affluent hotels. Besides playing the instruments he has composed music, which possesses a classical touch. The string effect, with which he embelishes his compositions, few can equal. That's when he plays any instrument. But with his latest Konkani cassette, one can hear the master's vocals too.


In his new audio album "Kuwaitkar Novro", Emiliano accompanies Sumita in "Mummy & Daddy" and Lorna in melancholic "Tuka", and even goes solo in romantic "Maria", which has been based on his own lyrics. For a much needed change, we find a rare, rich, vibrant voice singing in Konkani. The voice seems to breath emotions into the lyrics, some of which he has composed. Santosh Naik has penned most of the other lyrics.

We also find that Lorna, takes a break and attempt a diversion. Besides rendering the theme song "Kuwaitkar Novro", Lorna is also heard in "Are Raja Mhojea Moga" and "Jiv Zata Hum Hum" with Sylvester. Sylvester also does justice to Emiliano's experimentation in "Jai, Jai Bharat" along with the Tender Voices (Tabitha, Zubin, Nejba, Karishma, Roselle, Luis and Mavita), then teams up with Lulu in another enchanting number called "Sobit Goa". But it's in "Jiv Zata Hum Hum", sung with Lorna, that he really shines. Anthony San sings "Happy New Year" (lyrics by fermeena Khaunte).


Drawing on his vast experience of performing at Mumbai's recording studios, under exacting directors, and assisting them often to structure sections, Emiliano has mastered the trick to mix and match words and moods into a charming harmony. The tune sounds familiar initially but suddenly does a pleasant detour.

Likewise, Emiliano also dismounts the established traditional line in lyrics too in "Kuwaitkar Novro". In Konkani, the Indian style and the westernized one generally go their separate ways. Emiliano, however, attempts some sort of a welcome narrowing of the gap between the otherwise parallel lines. Quite experimental and evolutionary music does he. When one listens to it attentively, the fresh trend which Emiliano has brought into Konkani music, appears worthy of applause.

The string maestro has to perfect the new trend, which he has ushered into Konkani music, by producing more such fine music to keep up the tempo. So far there is no CD of "Kuwaitkar Novro", which in the audio cassette format sells at Rs.70.

Goa legislators' conduct as "tiatrist" (a local form of drama).

Goa assembly warns press over comment on legislators' conduct
PTI / Tuesday, August 04th, 2009 AT 3:08 PM / (Gomantak Times)

PANAJI: Speaker of Goa legislative assembly, Pratapsingh Rane today rebuked the press for commenting on conduct of legislators during the ongoing monsoon session.

Senior Congress leader and former state law minister Dayanand Narvekar pointed out that a coloumn published in a local daily termed the legislators' conduct as "tiatrist" (a local form of drama).

Making a mention during zero hour, Narvekar also demanded that the writer should be summoned in the house and punished as such act amounts to curtailing the freedom of legislators and making mockery of the system.

Intervening the debate, the Speaker warned the press to print anything which is not within the framework of rules and regulations.

"The members (of house) has total freedom to express their thoughts. The newspaper owes an apology or otherwise I need to refer the matter to committee of privileges," Rane said.

He said that the punishment for it can be the imprisonment that can be given without even referring to the privileges committee as house is in session.

[ Goa-World.Com Team adds in a serious vien :

The Tiatrists too are disgusted to be compared with MLAs - and we can vouch this statement for all concerned. All Tiatrists do need to protest too, if the MLAs and Assembly Members are also taking the word "Tiatrist" as derogatory...... Isn't it right, Shri. Tomazinho Cardozo, Hon. President, Tiatr Academy of Goa?
And what's the warning about......? For whom? For the Goan press? ].

Politicians and Martyrs

While politicians engage in corruption and wrongdoing, our brave youth die defending the country, points out SAMIR KELEKAR

Goan politicians surely have very thick skins. For instance, this Assembly session has almost been like a comedy show, and one would have laughed heartily if not for the tragic state of Goa. Imagine the master of it all, Dayanand Narvekar, calling the government corrupt! Here was the guru of it all, having taught the shishyas how to make hay while the sun shines, now crying foul when the shishyas have learnt the technique better than him. In fact, any guru would have happily retired seeing such a great following, but not our politicians. One thing about our politicians is that they will never retire. The addiction of power is too much. It was even more funny to see the Calangute MLA calling his own party’s government a government of pimps and peddlers. Of course, give a ministerial berth to both the Calangute MLA and Narvekar, let them get a piece of the pie, and they will not utter a word against the government.
