JERRY CAL
After successfully
releasing his earlier 2 Konkani Albums, first in CD form – “CALANGUTE” – in
2009 and the second in 2016 in DVD form and as well as CD form – “UGDDAS M.
BOYERACHO” – now again this year at the end of this month, to be precise on
29.09.19, the well-known singer Jerry Cal from Calangute is all set to release
his third Konkani Album – VISVAXI LEADER - in the form of CD.
The best singers of
Konkani Stage are selected to render the best 15 songs of which type rarely
people must have heard in the past and as per my information all these songs
are of different topics and qualitatively they are very high, all these songs minus 6 are composed by Jerry Cal. It was a
very painstaking job to compose such
high calibre songs where you have to have the vast knowledge of all the
subjects.
In fact some of the topics are
based on Ancient Greek Philosopher Diogenes, the other topic is based on Indo-Pak
problem, another topic is on the great yesteryears Tiatrist Alexinho de
Candolim whose narration was done so well, yet another song on degoanisation of
Goa due to large scale of outgoing of Goans, yet another topic is the incident
of invasion of Kuwait and the ingratitude of Goa based Goans towards Goans in
Kuwait, the other topic is on the last World Cup and soccer in general with
very good message to improve Indian soccer. These selected singers besides
Jerry Cal are Benny de Aldona, Prince Jacob, Lawry Travasso, Marcos Vaz,
Cajetan de Curtorim, Pascoal de Calangute, Salvador Silveira, Lourdes, Bushka,
Jessica and Olga Vaz.
Musical score is beautifully
provided by Shanon, Roy and others.
Who is Jerry Cal? His real name is Jeronimo Tiburcio Fernandes from Porbavaddo, Calangute who was
an avid follower and supporter of Konkani songs and Tiatros and himself being a
very good singer and composer acting in Tiatros from his early age in his
locality and in the surrounding areas as well as in his school at St. Joseph’s
High School Arpora. Later on he carried
this Tiatro art with him to Abu Dhabi where he fully dipped himself in the
promotion of Tiatros in UAE not only by acting in the Tiatros staged there but
also by bringing Goan Tiatrists to UAE.
