The first Konkani Audio Album was produced by the late Alfred
Rose in Bombay while the first Konkani CD was produced by the late Rosary Ferns
in Kuwait. Both these events are
historical and both Alfred Rose and Rosary Ferns proved to be history
creators. May their Konkani souls enjoy
the Heavenly peace.
From Kuwait and in Kuwait while working, Goans have performed
and still performing lot of activities in different fields, Konkani Stage Art
is one activity. There are lot of Stage
artistes in Kuwait who show their talent thru different ways and one of them is
producing of Konkani Albums in the form of Cassettes, CD’s, VCD’s and DVD’s.
Recently, on last Sunday in Kuwait city during a Konkani Show,
well known Konkani Stage artiste, songster and Playwright Laurent Pereira from
Utorda, Salcette and a long timer in
Kuwait, released his new DVD “TOVUI
EK MUNIS..!
This DVD comprises a Play written by Laurente Pereira, Comedy Skits also written by Larente Pereira
and Songs rendered by different singers, namely Laurente Pereira, Pascoal
Rodrigues, Saby de Divar, Macus Vas, Querbona Carvalho, Lawry Travasso, Romilla
Barreto and others.
Among the songs, the best one I liked was “Navancho Resped
Rakat” by Pascoal Rodrigues. The other
interesting songs were “Mog Bhau Bhoinnacho” by Laurente Pereira and Carmen,
“Kalzantle Sintiment” by Lawry Travasso, “Koddok Kaido” by Marcus Vaz,
“Bogllant” by Saby de Divar, “Khotto Vis" by Romila Britto and “Angantle Gunn” by Laurente Pereira,
Querobina Carvalho, Sandra & Abigail.
The Play was performed by Sylvester Vaz, Annie Quadros,
Pascoal Rodrigues, Romila Britto, Laurente Pereira and Volito and all of them
played their roles well as per the direction of the producer. Since it is my
wish that everyone to buy this Album and see for himself, I am not disclosing the
contents but tell that its ending part is excellent which no one must miss.
In the Comedy Skits, Comedian Selvy and Comedian Jannet along
with her husband Filipe add extra flavor to this DVD.
Musical score was provided by Norman Cardoso and Lenoy
Gomendes.
Well done Laurente Pereira and his troupe.
