Jerry Cal sings his solo
Surely one of the best Tiatros of this season is CAZAR.COM written and directed by the renowned director and a mighty pillar of Konkani Stage Prince Jacob also an ace comedian who beautified this Tiatro with his beautiful comedy he superbly and very decently performed to the satisfaction of the capacity crowd at Calangute Church Square at 8.00 pm on 22.4.18. It was organized by the Church under the able leadership of Pe. Vigar Cypriano who is retring from Calanute very shortly.

As a gift to him for serving the Calangute Church for the last so many years and bringing about lot of development in Calangute, the well known son of the soil Jerry Cal rendered a very beautiful solo composed very beautifully by him only, in showering abundant praises on the Pe. Vigar. From starting till ending of the solo, the audience was totally glued to the mike to enjoy not only each and every word of his song but even a coma. Such was the interesting song it was which according to me was the best in this Tiatro. I appreciate the kind gesture of Prince Jacob of giving an important opportunity to Jerry Cal to showcase his Stage talent. In fact Jerry Cal having two Konkani Albums to his credit, one is “Calangute” in the form of a CD and the other the recent one “Ugddas M. Boyeracho” a DVD which are both turned out to be excellent.

The musical score provided by the Band Lader Moraes, Mathias and his young son Jr. Mathias, Ancieto and Rohan was really a great thriller. However, the sound of the Music was so loud that at moment it was rather difficult to listen to the voices expressed on the Stage. However, the director should keep an watchful attention on this defect which proved to be an irritant.
Valency & Jude Gracias another scene
The other singers excelled in this segment known as “Side Show Songs” were Prince Jacob himself when he rendered a beautiful song along with his vastly improved partner and very good comedian Cedrick Pinto thrilled the audience by dressing like Lamani thereby imitating one of our local politicians whom in this duo put into shame. The other singers who deserve complments for singing nice and interesting songs were Michael Jude Gracias and Bonny Alvin on the contribution of Goan Christians in the promotion of Goan causes, they bring out in this song how there is a silent genocide on the excellent contribution of the good work Goan Christians have done even by the Priests the Pinto revolutionaries. They also indicate in this highly intellectual song how the Goan crooks and cheats made Dr. Ram Manohar Loia a hero by falsely hoisting him on Goans as shown in his monument erected at Loia Maidan Margao that he was speaking there when he was arrested by the portuguese soldiers. In fact, Dr.Loia was not even allowed to enter the Maidan since he was arrested
rima & Prince Jacob a scene
In our freedom movement those Christians who participated were genuine ones to liberate Goa but many others especially from North Goa were those who wanted to convert Goa into a Hindu Raj because they thought the word India comes from the word Hindus and as such India belongs to Hindus only. These idiots they must know that those who first fought for Goa’s independence from the Portuguese were the Christians from Candolim under their revolt “Pintos revolution” which was under the leadership of Priests some of whom were later on arrested by the Portuguese and then Hanged publicly in Panjim. Even Abade Faria was part of this revolution. Jude Michael Gracias te composer of this high grade song deserve highest complments.
Singing duo Bony & Jude
The other song which was a solo rendered by Agnel de Dabolim was excellent so too the opening solo of Lourdes. In fact almost all the songs were good including the two trios one by all the three ladies namely Valency-Rima-Lourdes and the other by Jose and company.
Another scene
The major part of the play was handled excellently by Valency, recently I noticed her growing into much maturity, her role when she becomes mad was superb, she sings also well with her sweet voice. Jose rendered a nice solo but he excelled very well in a very hard role of a goondda. In fact he created fear even into the hearts of audience.

Congratulations to prince Jacob and Cedrick for dishing out a very decent comedy without any vulgarity. I hope upcoming comedian Cedrik will never perform vulgar comedy, vulgar comedy is done by ROSTAD COMEDIANS who are a burden on Konkani Stage.
