Anthony Gonsalves & Sebastian D'souza (Seby) made it very big in Bollywood their names featured as assistant music directors and they commanded great respect from film music directors. Seby helped many Goans to get jobs in hindi film music industry. Another musician who contributed a great deal to bollywood is Balthazar Fernandes who was the only musician sought after for writing music to string instruments. Sorry, Lawrence de Tiracol is not a musician, not to humilate him but to put facts straight he will not know the ABCD of music, but may be composing tune naturally like our many tiatrists.
Leo fernandes writes: GOANS, MUSIC, BOLLYWOOD; Leo Fernandes writes in from Chatam, New Jersey: You have written Goan musicians have contributed to Bollywood films, but have anyone become a music director in Indian films? With the exception of Frank Fernand of Amchem Noxib. Are they currently in limelight or still in the background. The success of Indian music directors owe a lot to our Goan musicians -- but they were never brought to limelight or forge ahead like Remo Fernandes. Upcoming is Lawrence de Tiracol with his own music compositions has lifted up our Concanim songs.
