well as DVD formats produced by Jerry Cal from Calangute, Bardez, Goa, will be

in Calangute, Church Hall, at 6.30 PM

of Our Lady, the

Fr. Domnick Savio, the Asst. Parish Priest of St. Alex Calangute Church.
This is the second
Album of Jerry Cal and it contains 12 songs of which 7 are solos, 2 Duets,
1 Duo and 2 Trios. Of the 7 solos, one each of Olga, Marcus Vas,
Bushka, Lawry Travasso and Peter de Ugasaim while 2 solos are rendered by the
producer Jerry Cal; 2 Duets – one by Benny de Aldona with Bushka
and the other by Junior Reagan with Valency while one Duo by Jerry Call with
Benny de Aldona. The remaining 2 are
Trios by Jet Speed Composer Salvador Silveira-Mini
Mario-Pascoal de Calangute.
All the songs are very
powerful but the most powerful are both the solos of Jerry Cal, one the title
song where the singer details the best Tiatros of Boyer, his best songs and the
best ability of Boyer to compose best of “Cantos” in his Tiatros. The singer also displays the best of visuals
of M. Boyer as never shown before namely the ones where Boyer is shown
receiving top awards Sangeet Nattak and Padmashree from the Presidents of India
namely Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma and Dr. Abdul Kalam respectively. These are the rare photos.
In the other solo
“Calangute”, Jerry Cal shows beautiful and historical scenes of Calangute like
Silver Sand Calangute Beach, Baga Beach and Chapel, Bom Viagem Convent, Monuments of Abade de Faria and Dr. Jack de Sequeira,
the first English High School of Goa at Arpora and the newly built bridge there. Also shown are the new soccer Stadium at
Poriat and the beautiful Hotel Goan Heritage built by the Kuwait Goans, in
addition to many more beautiful scenes.
In the solo of Olga you
will see one historical scene where the last Portuguese Governor Vassalo e
Silva was shown signing the treaty of surrendering Goa to India and the euphoria
of the crowd in some places for Jai
Hind. Also shown photo of Salazar and
other world stalwarts. In this solo she
describes the contribution of Goan Christians in the freedom movement of Goa
including that of Pintos revolt initiated by the Pinto priests from Candolim.
Both the Trios, one on “Madd” and the other on the killing of
Fr. Bismarque, while watching one surely
goes mad by listening to the contents
and especially by seeing the visuals of dead Fr. Bismarque, such scenes were
not shown before nor such matter was ever rendered before. The composer and
singers deserve highest praises for rendering such songs so boldly.
Bushka’s duet with
Benny de Aldona and her solo carry the majesticity they deserve while new comer
Peter de Ucasaim’s comedy solo is nice to listen. Both Lawry Travasso and Marcos Vas do justice
to their solos. The Kunbi duet of Reagan and Valency is beautifull while the Duo
of Jerry Cal with Benny de Aldona is excellent, the beautiful voice of Benny
beautifies this song more.
I can rightly say that
this Album in CD and DVD form is one of the best so far I came across. Historical
point of view this is a big Treasure. I
congratulate the producer Jerry Cal and his his entire troupe for producing such
an excellent Album “UGDDAS M. BOYERACHO”.
