NEW SONG BY PLGA ON HER MOTHER'S DEATH.

   The beauty of the song is based not only  on its lyrics but also on the way it is rendered.  When one sings a song with his/her beautiful voice the degree of its beauty goes up giving very good satisfaction to the listeners. Not only this even the singers way of singing and modulating of his face is also very much counted.  From the time of the staging of the first Tiatro over 150 years ago, the first known song on 

the dead person,  namely the late Minguel Rod was rendered by the late legendary Young Menezes who was otherwise a jet speed singer known in the history of Konkani songs the singer of longest jet-speed song comprising 500 words.  While singing this song Young Menezes was so exhausted that at one particular point he was holding his own hand to his stomach as a support because due to total exhaustion he was unable to stand erect and sing that song.  At moment it ;looked he was collapsing on the Stage In the history of such songs, this song rendered by Young Menezes will remain as the best, commented  yet another great Tiatrist/singerAlexinho de Candolim the next day, Young Menezes rendered this song in the Tiatro held at the Mattou erected next to the house of Alexinho de Candolim.of whose calibre we are yet to see another like him. As a matter of fact Minguel Rod when he died in 1954 this was the most sorrowful song that was rendered with the exrremely sorrowful Tune of Motetic type.  That this song on Minguel Rod was so powerfully sorrowful that the audience came to know the moment the musicians started to play the introductory music when the singer the late Young Menees who on the musical steps based on the music played by the musical troupe t headed by that great Maestro Violonist Alex.

 

                     Yesterday on Tube I listened to a beautiful sorrowful  song by  the highly political singer  Olga on her  recently expired mother at GMC where as per this song the hospital authorities mishandled her case that it looks  led to her death. Normally Olga is known to sing political songs with her fiery words criticising the ill deeds of the  government but in this particular song on her mother she is totally changed. Olga even though she pinches here and there some` doctors and HM for not being serious and playing with the life of the patients.

                        In this song Olga  indicates how smart she is even  in singing such sorrowful songs with her serene and touchy  voice and touchy way of singing with a slow pace thereby  winning the hearts of the listeners.     It is worth listening and nobody should miss this song she rendered with her eyes all wet.

                          My heartfelt condolences  to   you Olga Bai.
