TSKK condoles the sad demise of 'Goa Shahir' Ulhas Buyão Goa Shahir Ulhas
Buyao left for his heavenly abode on Monday 16 April after a brief illness.
Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr (TSKK) condoles the sad demise of its friend
benefactor and Antonio Pereira Konknni Puroskar (APKP) winner Mr Buyao.
TSKK had chosen the veteran Konknni singer Mr. Ulhas Buyão popularly known as
Goa Shahir, as the recipient APKP for the year 2006. He was chosen for his
valuable contribution to Konknni lyrics, music and stage performance for the
last forty years. Mr. Eric Ozario, the President of Karnataka Konknni Sahitya
Academy of Karnataka Government conferred the award on him. The public function
was held on Friday, 25 August 2006 at Grace Church Hall, Margao. He also
received the Goa State Art and Cultural Award in 2006.
Ulhas Buyão was born on 21 June 1944 at Zambaulim, Goa. He was passionate
about his music and compositions and they played an integral role in his life.
Over the years he had created his own unique identity in Goan Music, whether it
is Bhajan, kantar or a folk song. The hallmark of his composition had been his
ability to communicate a feeling of strong emotion and message through his
renditions. Through his Buyão Theatres Gõy, he had produced audiocassettes and
CDs. Since 1963 he performed approximately in 500 programmes on All India
Radio, Panaji. He has given a number of programmes on Goa Doordarshan. His ill
health did not dampen his spirit or kept him away from singing and composing
music till his death.
Mr. Ulhas is a person of multiple dimensions. He is a stage artist. He has
acted in Konknni and Marathi plays and tiatrs. Besides his own Konknni plays
and tiatrs, he has acted in M. Boyers Ekuch Rosto tiatr 65 shows; Prem
Kumars Visvas tiatr 20 shows and Mike Mehtas tiatr Sunita 20 shows. As an
artist he has supported and encouraged a number of other artists to develop
their talents.
Ulhas Buyão took an active role during the opinion poll to preserve Goas
identity. He moved from village to village to concentize the people through his
songs and speeches against merging Goa with Maharashtra. For this mission he
organized more than 75 programmes in different parts of Goa. Similarly during
the language agitation in 1986 he was active to support Konknni as the State
Language.
He was the publisher of Rat Ranni Konknni periodical in Roman script. He has
published his Konknni books Ram Gita, Hanga khun zala and Yo go tum
manddar. On 25 August, during the APKP function at Margao his Konknni novel
Novi Fantodd in Roman script was released.
Out of his own conviction he was fully involved with the agitation to get
equal and official status to Konknni written in Roman script in the Official
Language Act. In this context he has written extensively in Marathi and
Konknni. He has selflessly served Goa and Konknni without expecting anything in
return. Ulhas is an artist, singer, writer and moreover a man of convictions,
values and integrity. Goa and Konknni lost one of its beloved son and soldier
of justice and truth.
Goa-World.Com Team joins Tiatr mogi and Konkani lovers to offer their
condolences to Ulhas Buyao's family. May his soul rest in peace. Your
immortal song 'Channeachea Rati' will always live long!
