William de Curtorim bows out
A full stop for the ‘jet speed singer’
TEAM HERALD
PANJIM: Well-known veteran tiatrist William de Curtorim died at his
Curtorim residence on Sunday evening.
William was running a fever for the last few days and also suffering
from low blood pressure. He breathed his last at about 7.30 pm following
a massive heart attack.
Known in tiatr circles as the ‘Jet Speed Singer’ of the tiatr stage due
to his breath-style rendition, William mesmerized audiences with his
hard-hitting solos exposing misdeeds of local politicians fearlessly.
He was not seen much in action lately as he was ailing for the last
several months after he met with a serious road accident. He was last
seen in action in Lawrence Fernandes’s tiatr “Hem Oxem Kiteak?”.
His funeral will be held on December 13 at 4 pm at St Alex Church,
Curtorim, after the mass in Carmel Chapel (Carmi-copel) Curtorim.
Expressing shock over William’s demise, Tomazinho Cardozo stated that
the Konkani stage has lost a “fearless” artiste who could take on any
powerful personality.
“William was a tiatr artiste, basically a singer and used to sing very
critical songs exposing the misdeeds of ministers,” Cardozo told Herald.
“He was even assaulted sometimes, but as a singer he was fearless,
exposing corruption,” he said.
Cardozo further said that he has written and directed many tiatrs
besides singing. He also has to his credit audio albums.
“He was hit among the tiatr lovers as people would appreciate his songs,
especially the political ibe ,” said Cardozo.
