One more new DVD is on sale in Kuwait city which I purchased and just completed in watching it. This is of Anthony de Colva comprising 3 small Plays known as “Karnavalachea Zomnivelea Khellancheo Tin Partio”. These three Skits are: (1) KONNAKUCH NAKA (2) MAKA INAM MEULOand (3) MOZO KHELL POLLOIAT ANI MAKA DUDDU DIAT. They are all written, directed and presented by Anthony de Colva who is seen standing in Suit in the cover photo while on left top seen in the cover photo are Songs composer Patrick Dourado and Osvi Viegas who has composed and arranged the music.
This DVD is worth seeing because its contents are good. Comedy performed by both the comedians Peter de Macazana and Comedian Rumaldo is good, lyrics are excellent and they all rendered excellently by all the singers supported from behind the scene by the melodious singer Osvi as “Segundo”. Osvi’s beautiful voice as second brought extra beauty for all the songs and his voice is partly responsible to give a booster for this DVD.
The two young beautiful ladies Dolla Miranda and Lavina played their roles very beautifully and while singing they both were graceful especially Lavina who with her attractive looks captured the minds and hearts of the audience. She showed lot of serenity in her beautiful voice. Tough they both are not professional Stage artistes yet they proved to be much better than the professionals. The director also deserved credit for training them well.
Anthony de Colva palyed captains inning very well in the Skits as well as in songs. He got a very stable voice.
The Musicians also played their role well.
Though it is a “Zomnivoilo Khell” played on the ground as per the tradition yet songs lacked the traditional tunes normally used for such “Khells”. And without Clarinet as one of the musical instruments, this “Khell” lacked the normal punch associated with such “Khells’. Clarinet gives beauty to such "Khells".
It is well depicted with a very good traditional scene where the beautiful performance performed by all the artistes in a traditional manner.
Kudos to Anthony de Colva, Osvi Viegas, Patrick Dourado and everyone who participated in this “ZOMNIVOILO KHELL”.
