NEW KONKANI ALBUM 'VISVAXI" LEADER BY JERRY CALL TO BE RELEASED.TOMORROW.

JERRY CALL

JERRY’S NEW CD.
                         
After successfully releasing his earlier 2 Konkani Albums, first a CD “CALANGUTE” in 2009 and the second a DVD as well as CD in 2016 “UGDDAS M. BOYERACHO”, so now again this year, 2019 in this month on 29th, the well-known singer Jerry Cal from Calangute is all set to release his third Konkani Album a CD, “VISVAXI LEADER”. This release will be done in Calangute, at Khobravaddo, at the Jerissa Paradise Guest House, at 8.00 PM.

There are in all 15 songs in this Album and they are well rendered by the top singers of Konkani Stage. With the exception of 6 songs, all the other songs are composed by Jerry Cal who is one of the best composers of Konkani songs. They are all qualitatively very high songs.  In fact to compose such songs the composer needs to have vast knowledge of the subjects he choose and since the composer is having this required knowledge, he managed to give to the listeners such a beautiful Album.  Some of the songs such as the one based on the great ancient Greek Philosopher Diogenes, Alexinho de Candolim, Indo-Pak conflict, Last Foot-ball World Cup, Kuwaitche Goyenkar, Goans migrating to outside, Scientist and the last Parish Priest of Calangute Fr. Cypriano are just a class by itself. All these songs truly speaking are historically and intellectually very high. I have listened to these songs and I have  found them just exra ordinry because such songs I have never heard earlier.  This is the reason the name of Jerry is creating  waves in the Goan Tiatrical world.

Besides the remaining songs are composed by their respective singers namely Prince Jacob, Benny de Aldona and Salvadoir Silveira.  These songs also carry a lot of weight thus increasing the quality of this Album. All these songs are rendered beautifully with their beautiful voices besides Jerry Cal by Lawry Travasso, Marcus Vaz, Prince Jacob, Benny de Aldona, Cajetan de Curtorim, Salvador Silveira, Pascoal de Calangute, Lourdes, Bushka, Jessica and Olga.

Coming back to Jerry Call, his youth was full of Tiatrical activities in his locality, at Arpora School and in the surrounding areas.  Because of his education and migrating to the Gulf, Abu Dhabi, soon after finishing his schooling and professional course of three years in Cateering at Taj Hotel, Bombay, he took up the employment and thus missed the chance to develop himself as the professional Tiatrist. Otherwise, he would be one of the best professional singers and composers.

In Abu Dhabi while he was working as the Executive Chef at Abu Dhabi Hilton where he recruited so many Goans, he started organsing Tiatros there by bringing Tiatrists from Goa.  He also brought prominent Tiatrists with their groups to perform in the Gulf.
   
Musical score for this beautiful CD is beautifully provided by Shanon, Roy and their colleagues and because of their beautiful music the beauty of this CD increased.

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. 

He was too deeply immersed himself in Konkani movement from UAE and very few Goans have supported the Konkani movement in the Gulf and in the whole of Goan world as he did. It is a pity that in Goa those who are on the forefront to promote Konkani  are become dumb, deaf and blind to recognize his contribution towards Konkani especially the Romi Konkani.
   
While speaking to this writer, Jerry Cal appreciated the kind gesture of Manfa Music, Margao, Sinari Shop Panji, Music House Mapusa, Mu- nicipal Market and also he thanked all his friends and colleagues who helped him to market this Album.

NEW CD OF JERRY CAL TO BE RELEASED.

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.

POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION.


Goan Roads are in a mess having Potholes almost everywhere and on top of it the impotent BJP government formed by using the third class MLA’s of Congress Party is claiming it is functioning well.  My foot!! Nothing is functioning well in Goa under BJP government. All they say that they will do anything once they are elected and  once they get elected not thru the ballot papers but by the Bribe they pay to the FIRST CLASS ANTI-DEMOCRATIC BASTARD VOTERS who by accepting the bribe money put our beautiful democracy in the gutter. And on top of it all the Bastard voters whether Goans or Ghanttis are committing a murder on the genuine interest of Goa.  

Currently and since they came to power allegedly by purchasing the Congress MLA’s like “Bangdde”, BJP MLA’s and Montris are on looting spree, they care nobody, neither their voters nor God even because  they consider their voters as “Ghantta Boil” who will do exactly  what their masters are telling them to do.  I would rather trust any “Cheddi” from the brothel but never these Besterdised Goans who for the sake of money  will even sell their wives and daughters. BJP officials, MLA’s and Montris are well aware of the quality of these vote seller Goans who are a disgrace on Goan community.  If  anywhere in the world such big Potholes are found on the road, the public will go to the houses of their MLA’s, Montris and Contractors, pull them out by catching to  their necks and rub their noses in big Potholes because they know that what they are demanding is genuine since they pay Road Taxes to get better roads and not these dirty with big Potholes.

It is a pity that nobody in the government is listening to the cries of the public to repair the roads where because of the big Potholes so  many accidents are taking place and  so many people die on the road.  The persons who are responsible namely MLA’s and Montris are not indicating any interest in solving the grievances of the public.  Why they are dumb, deaf and blind to the public grievances?  Because they are genuinely “ROSTAD” coming from the ROSTAD family background having received no proper discipline at their homes from their parents because they lack parents and parental care.  They are born on the “Dongrar” and will die in the “Ranant”.  They are not cultured people, they are selfish and sexually perverted, they are good at performing the scheme called “NArvenkarism” and those who are involved in the Narvenkarism they are bound to be sick people and mentally deranged.

In order to awaken the people of Goa after doing everything possible within their capacity, the Goans, the genuine Goans under the able leadership of the celebrity dancing Goan girl known as Supermom Cecille Rodrigues from Taleigao came out with one novel idea thru which she formed a group of few young girls like her and produced a Video where they are shown singing a song originally rendered by Lorna but Supermom adjusted it a bit to suit her need.  This song and Video is creating heavy awakening in Goa of the very bad roads of Goa.  It is creating a very good effect outside Goa in Europe, America and Russia from where many tourists were pouring in Goa.  After seeing this video, according to my information the European, American and Russian regular tourists have decided not to come to Goa anymore.  Even in many other States in India this video is creating ripples thru which preventing the Indian tourists from coming to Goa.  The coming tourism season will surely have negative effects on tourism.

Now I am congratulating Supermom Cecille Rodrigues for initiating an unique form of campaign over our Roads full of Potholes. When this government cannot provide the basic need of good road then it has no right to run the government. Such impotent government should not even talk of its prowess. When politicians with the necessary power in their hands failed to take up the issues of public interest then the non-political  and non-governmental figures come into the picture like  the Supermom and when they enter into this field due to their vast public following as Supermom Cecille Rodrigues, the importance of the issue is enhanced which automatically create momentum for the public to raise their voices in unison thereby forcing the otherwise dormant government to wake up and take immediate action.     Supermom Cecille is like a one person army and with her colleagues along with her she is capable to create havoc with this useless government of BJP.                                       

I remember how the outstanding world renown sporting icon, the greatest Mohammed Ali, the World Heavyweight Boxing Champion used his sporting popularity to force the USA to  put an end to  Vietnam War.  When everyone in the USA and elsewhere in the World exhausted their avenues to force America to stop them fighting in this foulest war where Americans used deadliest weapons against Vietnamese, the great Philosopher cum Mathemetician Betrand Russel formed a group of world renowned scientists and other intellectuals including Nobel Prize winnners and conducted the Nuremburg type of trial of the involvement of USA  in this war. This group of Betrand Russel came to the conclusion that this was the worst war fought on this planet where great losses have been suffered and extremely high cruelties have been committed in this war by the Americans. But still America refused to withdraw inspite of the trial of America done by the great stalwarts  of this planet holding the Americans responsible for the calamities suffered in this war.

During that time, the great World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Muhammed Ali was stripped of his title because he refused to get himself conscripted into Army and go to Vietnam War.  His case was still  in the American Court but while this case was still subjudice and still to take some more time, the news of this case spread all over the World.  Since Mohmmed Ali was known all around the globe, there was anxiety grew up into the minds of the people all around the World.  People started enquiring why America Is harassing darling Boxer Ali and infact people became more conscious of this case and thus Mohammed Ali became more famous while American administration found to be the worst administration thereby Americans started losing the sympathy and goodwill of the people not from the local Americans but also from the entire world.  Mohammed Ali’s supporters spread all over  the World started abusing USA. 


Betrand Russel was watching this whole drama and when he was convinced that only the most  popular personality with supporters from all over the World is capable to create public opinion against USA, Betrand Russel in a telephonic conversation with Mohammed Ali commented thus: “I fully support your fight against American involvement in Vietnam.  In the history of humanity there was not a single war more barbaric than this war.  I support you, please carry on”. Within a short time due to the campaign of Mohammed Ali, public opinion turned against USA forcing USA to withdraw from this war.
