One of the nice VCD’s of Konkani Songs
and Jokes reaching Kuwait for sale in
open market at Kuwait City is “FAMILICHO EKVOTT” by handsome young director
Avers Pereira. This VCD consists of 11 nice songs rendered by prominent singers
and 3 Comedy Jokes by Comedians Ambe & Jannet along with their other
partners.
All songs are worth listening but
the most impressive one is the opening solo by the director Avers Pereira on now
ailing and the great Konkani Stage artiste Ben Evangelisto. In this solo the singer
nicely describes the greatness of Ben Evangelisto as Stage artiste, how he fell
sick with an attack while acting on the Stage and how Churchill Alemao came to
his rescue. In this solo the singer calls Churchill Alemao as "Goenkarancho Vhoddlo Bhau"for his charitable nature.
Ben Evangelisto is a young man and a father of 2 kids needing lot
of assistance. It was nice on the part
of Churchill Alemao to lend a helping hand to this great artiste.
Tiatro and Tiatrists are a force
now and in Goa they can create wonders.
When Antonette de Calangute felt the need of financial assistance for
her Kidney transplant, in a show of
solidarity with her, the entire tiatro fraternity came forward, organized Tiatros
in aid of Antonette de Calangute and collected lakhs of rupees, in fact more
than the budgeted amount, to be donated to her for the treatment of her
sickness. Thru this fund collection for her, Tiatrists proved their worth of supporting
their sick colleague. This is the power of Tiatrists in Goa now.
By using this power they should
form a Charitable Trust in their name, organize their Tiatros in aid of this
Trust and the funds collected thus
should be given as aid to the needy and ailing Tiatrists so that these Tiatrists
do not have to remain at the mercy of none.
I am sure from the current Tiatrists circle there are many with
excellent brains to carry forward this project.
And they must do this.
The other songs deserve mention
here are a duet “Poilo Mog” by Bushka
with Avers Pereira. With her slim figure
and attractive physical structure, Bushka makes this duet more interesting; another duet that deserves mention is “Pai-Pai-Pai
by Prince Jacob with youngster Veliza Pereira.
Both the artistes render this duet beautifully, Pereira showing lot of
maturity at this young age while Prince Jacob does his role very beautifully
with excellent dress code and with his superb clarity in rendering his part.
Rarely earlier I have seen Prince Jacob coming to this height. His presentation is befitting his fatherly role.
Rosario de
Benaulim renders his solo “Nitidar Zainakai” very well, so also Saby de Divar “Vagak Baint Uddoilo”. The other
solos worth admiring are of Fr. Eusico Pereira’s “Familicho Ekvott, Benny de
Aldona’s “Konnak Patienaka” and the other 3 solos of Avers Pereira.
All the songs in this VCD are
composed by the director Avers Pereria.
Musical score is provided by Mukesh Chantwal.
Those wanting to enjoy good songs
they must not miss this VCD.
