ROSTAD TE GOENCHE MONTRI?

This is the new CD of William de Curtorim. It consists of Songs, Mimicry and Jokes. The main singers are William de Curtorim, his young daughter Meera Menezes, popular stage artiste and singer Hortencio Pereira, Michael de Siolim, Leena, Sunny, Alexinho & Lorna de Morjim. The CD starts with the Portuguese National Anthem “Herois do Mar” and then follows the introduction. Musical score was provided by King Trumpeter Anthony de Velim and Recorded at: Magic Touch Studio Margao.

The 1st song a solo “Sounsar Soddun Gele” was rendered by Meera Menezes in which she is lamenting the sad demise of many of the renowned Goan Musicians including Joe Perry, Chris Perry, Trumpeter Fidelis, Violinist Alex, Frank Fernand, Anthony Gonsalves and many others.

The second was again a solo on World Cup 2006 by William de Curtorim in which William regrets the acquisition of Goa by India the country he said will never reach for World Cup. Further he said in this song, if Portugal was still in Goa then Goans would have a chance to play in World Cup representing Portugal but under India will never. In this song William called Indian Government as dirty Government and calls openly “Viva Portugal – Goyam amkam atam mevla pozddo serkar” etc.

The third song is a Trio on “Pulis Inspector Kosle” by Michael, Lorna & Alexinho. In this trio the singers disgraced Goan Police force for not detecting crimes and other such incidents.

The fourth song is again a solo “Melody King Sacrament Soddpache?” by Hortencio Pereira. This song is become very critical for one particular tiatrist who has left his wife and flirting with others and in the bargain receiving hammering also from females for ditching them one after the other. According to Hortencio this tiatrist instead of singing songs on maintenance of morality by others and sermonizing from the Stage should first maintain his own morality. Further, Hortencio in his solo sings that Alfred Rose is the only Melody King and besides him nobody can be a Melody King from the current tiatrists and to be a Melody King Alfred Rose had all the qualities. Listening to this song, the crticised tiatrist, according to the complaint lodged by Hortencio to Curchorem Police Inspector on 19.08.06, threatened Hortencio that he will kill Hortencio. Let us see what will be the result of this episode. Meantime, I understand Hortencio and William de Curtorim have already filed a Chapter Case against the criticised tiatrist. As a matter of interest, earlier, Prince Jacob has also filed a Chapter Case against another comedian tiatrist who threatened Prince Jacob with dire consequences. According to my latest information, in Kuwait too we are seeing high calibre and so called super stars Tiatrists leading immoral life of course shamelessly. Time will come when audience will stone them when they enter the Stage and this time is not very far, it may be immediately in the next Tiatro. One of such characters is involved in Church affairs. I dont know why Church authority is entertaining such people who are bad example to others.

The fourth song is yet another solo “Rostad Te Gonche Montri” on Mopa Airport by William de Curtorim. In this solo William insults freedom fighters for disgracing Goa by fighting for the liberation of Goa and now keeping silence. He called Rane as “Sataricho Makodd”. Then he goes singing thus, Luizin - Rane – Sardinha all three Goan politicians were responsible for piloting the Mopa Airport and calls them as traitors who are now shedding crocodile’s tears to fool the public. Indirectly referring to Luizin Faleiro, William strongly criticizes him for being responsible for destroying Goa.

Yet another song deserve mention is the solo “Upkar Naslole Tiatrist” by Michael de Siolim in which he showers eulogy on William de Curtorim for introducing new artistes to Konkani Stage.

Besides the above songs the CD consisted of Jokes and Mimicry. One of such Mimicry is very well rendered by William imitating Sardinha very beautifully.

his CD was released and put on sale during the recent full house Tiatro “Ghor Bhandlem Ghorabo Moddlo” by the renowned playwright and songster Rosary Ferns. Rarely did I see in Kuwait such a full house Tiatro before. The credit for this first should go to the credibility of Rosary Ferns whose name is enough to attract the audience. Besides, Rosary’s colleagues, friends, supporters, stage artistes and well wishers have contributed a lot to attain this success. Some of his colleagues in this drama have even acted free of charge and this they have done only because of Rosary.

During this trip of William de Curtorim, I have noticed one thing that because of his dynamic and daring songs he is become the darling of the crowd thereby putting a shadow on other tiatrists whom he turned dwarfs. Hence, he acquired jealousy from his fellow tiatrists not only from those coming from Goa but also from the local ones. About three years back because of his highly critical song on Rane, Mapusa Police took him to the Police Station and gave a scolding. When this has happened I wrote a big article in Herald in support of William; Rajan Narain and Narvenkar also sided with William. Immediately after this incident, I went on vacation and at two occasions I was encountered with stiff opposition by some of the Stage artistes at Kala Academy, Panjim for supporting William. His colleagues are as I realized jealous of his fame. But the audience is with him and they support him very much. His presence in Kuwait Stage will surely sell over 100 tickets and abundance of goodwill for the Tiatro. What during those days Kid Boxer was doing from the Stage William de Curtorim is doing now hough in a slightly different manner. In the history of Tiatro and Tiatrists, only five Tiatrists have been either arrested and imprisoned or taken to the Police Station and they are Kid Boxer in Bombay arrested and deported to Goa somewhere in 1959 for singing a song against Indian Government. Again he was arrested in Bombay for singing song against Indian Governement in mid sisties, sentenced for some months and sent to Nasik prison. Immediately after Goa was annexed by Bharat, at Mapusa during their trio song, Conception – Nelson – Anthnoy were arrested and taken to Police Station for singing a song in which they bared the disgrace of Bharati Government. In the same Tiatro Kid Boxer too again was arrested for singing a song against invading Goa by Bharat. Some of the words of his songs referring to Indian Government are as follows:

“Tum Bhitor sorlai chukon, mortoloi sukon, dusreacho dhes pochona.
Tum Pan potti khatai ani poch korun thuktai, lozui kaim dissona,
Tum nestai fokot valo ani khatai fokot palo, tum Goyant sobona.

The first line refers to Bharati Government invading Goa
The second line refers to Bharati people mainly Ghanttis who were eating Pan and spitting openly everywhere without any decency and The third line refers to Bharati people known for wearing dhoti valo and eating cheap bhazi palo.

And the last Tiatrist who was summoned to the Police Station was William de Curtorim for singing Political song about 3 years back.
