TAG's awards, mega show etc - a report Mega Konkani Musical Show with top most artistes of Tiatr stage. Good publicity. Ads/news items seen in H, NT etc
We arrived there just afte 4pm (show was to start at 3.30pm) The hall was houseful with about 100 people seen standing around. When it is free, people make sure they come with their entire families including kids. We saw a women with her dauther/in law and 3 kids age between 4-8 occupying five seats. Such musical shows means all old songs or those already sung in their tiatrs etc Some people seen ‘booing’ from behind when they sang old song. When we first entered, we saw Siddarh Buyao (?) singing Jesu Krista, putra Devachea.. Following artists also sang older songs.. Peter-Roshan, Salvador afons and his wife Nacia, Mini Mario, Ingratius de Xelvona, Socor De St, Cruz, Anthony San. MIL-MEL-NEL and Felcy/Tuem duet was new to me so I captured a bit. Com.Domnic, Luis Bachaan along with their brother Rocky played a comedy skit (silent) Whichs also seems older one (included in the clip) Then the CM arrives around 5.15 and the award giving ceremony was over by 6..30pm. The show was to continue but we left soon after. We did see other tiatrists like John D’ Silva, Nato, Ben, Sabina, Jessy, Marcus, CD Silva etc etc We were in a hurry to go so we left soon after but our car was held up on Zuari bridge in a traffic jam for over 16 minutes. In his speech TAG President Tomazin Cardozo said that new office space (2 large halls) with over 200 sqmts been acquired at Campal Trade Centre, opp Kala Academy. He also said, besides Pai Tiatrist birthday, events or celebrations will also be organised on Lucasino Rebeiro (Innovator of Tiatr) birthday on Jan, 2 and on Regina Fernandes birthday (date was not mentioned) first lady to act in tiatr who is also a wife of Pai Tiatrist. The awards: I remember, at the time of TAG inauguration, Jan/Feb this year, 15 senior tiatrist were felicitated for their life time contribution for tiatr stage but almost half of them were seen this time too viz.Anita Pereira, Antonette, Clara Dias, Philomena Braz,Ophelia, Titta Pretto etc Perhaps, first one were awarded by Art and Culture Dept and this one by TAG. TAG has also issued some free booklets with brief profile of each of the 13 artistes. Including Name, address, Date/place of birth, Parents names etc. but when it comes to Lorna Cordeiro all such details were missing or blank. Lorna was one of the 13 awardees but she is the only one who was absent so Musician Norman received the award on her behalf.
