While searching Nolasco Dias on net, I came across below post of Eugene. I am not sure if Eugene was able to get the answer But I have just located the song Moipass which is found in LP record 'Rico Rod & Party' through Nolasco Dias son Schubert.
The lyrics of the song are posted on my blog http://edskantaram.blogspot.com/search/label/Songs%20of%20Nolasco The song is available on Humma website for purchase and LP available on ebay for $74/-. Nolasco Dias was the famous singer on AIR, who composed and sang many Konkani songs. He wrote and staged the Konkani operata in Bombay called Amoriche Ghantteo (Bells of the Angelus)but was not successful and ran into huge loss, as he had to spend on costumes etc. Some of his hit songs are 'Konkani Bhashechem Dennem' by Nolasco & Gemma B. Fernandes from LP 'Teach Me Konkani' and Moipass by Nolasco & Jeanette, Goenche Kunnbi a folk song with Nolasco n group, n Dorji with Rico Rod from LP Rico Rod & Party. These songs were very popular on Akashawani those days and even now. The Music for these albums was provided by M.Alphonso. There was also another album or song titled 'Buddi ka bal'which is not traceable. Nolasco also produced a Konkani cassette titled 'Rosary' which is also not traceable. Born 26th Dec 1926 from Ranvaddo, Betalbatim, Nolasco is Son of Dr. Leo Bossuet Dias (surgeon) and Pulqueria Godinho e Dias a Portugese Professor. Nolasco ex Indian Navy passed away on 27th Dec 2004.
