GRACEFUL TIATRIST - Remmie Colaco
The most graceful tiatrist of yesteryears Remmie Colaco is no more.
The Konkani loving audience of Bombay and Goa just loved and admired him
for his talent, gracefulness, and dedication.
In my belief and personal opinion, as long as the tiatrist world is
alive Remmie Colaco will never be forgotten. May his soul rest in peace.
Such Konkani stage singers, actors, writers and directors come up with
hard dedication through their humble beginnings and they rise above the
skies, and he was one of them - Remmie Colaco.

A simple human being with God gifted talent he was a law abiding citizen
of India who always knew his responsibilities.
When Kuwait Goa Tiatristanchi Sonvstha (KGTS) invited Remmie Colaco for
one of their shows in Kuwait, he was the most disciplined actor among
the guest artistes, and received much applause his performance, grace
and his self composed songs.
Almost six decades nows, I have witnessed Remmie much acclaimed tiatr
'Sathvo Sacrament' when I was just 12 years in Bombay in 1955.
Remmie Colaco's passing away is another setback to the tiatrist fraternity.
So many tiatrists have left this world leaving behind their beautiful
memories, compositions, songs and dramas, and their hallmark for the
love of Konkani stage and its upliftment, Remmie Colaco's was one of
them, who can never be forgotten.
May the Almighty God give strength and courage to his bereaved family to
bear the loss.
Ho zaun assa eok verse Remmie Colaco-chea cantaracho.
"Bhoini Anquarponar anson nachon uddo,
Anquarponar chedhe galit tuka vedo,
Thujea rupacher chedeanchi nodor podo,
Tum sobitful soboitaleim vado.
Thodeach tempan tuvem athak ghalun chudo,
Thujea kazari jivitak keloi fudo,
Gaum sodun vetana kalliz thujem vodo,
Resperac tum vetana dukani rodo
Maim paichea garant theomp thujo thodo,
Aiz thujo fudar focot chedo".
Oslea sobdhanim Konkani cantaram gaupi aslo, Remmie Colaco,
Tachea othmeank Deu sorginchem sukh favo corum.
