are unfortunate. Jacinta has sung the song. This is her version of it and if 
you think that there should only be one version, you are not appreciating 
the diverse character of Music. I think that considering the fact that we 
Goans seem to be very reluctant in speaking our mother tongue and promoting 
the wider use of the language specially in homes should encourage ventures 
like Jacinta's. Non use and promotion of the language is leading to the 
demise of the language among the youth especially in migrant Goan 
communities throughout the world. This is a shame and unless we make 
concerted efforts in ensuring the wider use of the language, in these 
migrant communities, Konkani will soon disappear from these communities. 
This is unfortunate but it is one of the attributes which makes us Goan and

What is wrong with a stereotype? What?! They are often very helpful.
The French in the cites are exactly that--mostly in Paris, Lyons etc. It is
different if you are in Rousillion, Arles, Provence. Aix. They understood
my: pour petit dejeuner je prends. OR Ave vous les fromage?

But imagine is I said, "Vous etes une super nana" (You are a fabuslous babe"
(She may throw a Konkani "kitem" at me if she is putting on garam hawa).or
heaven forbid I went/vent to confession and said, Prdonnez-moi, mon Pere,

peche). PAR-donn-ay-MWAH, mohn PAIR, car shay PAY-shay.

There was a study that on students, and the conclusion was that they can
barely speak the own language and this was across the board. It embarrassed
the Sacre Bleu out of them. That study was throttled for something like
three years.

About Konkani depends whether one is going for Damu's loginn in Gauxim, or
Guilhermin's kazar at Byculla Bazar.

Dear Frederiick,
As I said in my disclaimer, I am no great shakes at music, but I did not
mean to pull down the singer. All I did was give my honest impressions.
Would you have preferred it if I didn't comment at all?
I have no wish nor energy to indulge in a wordy duel on Goanet, but for your
information, we were never taught Konkani when we my family members) were in
Africa but we learnt it in a rather strange manner. Our household was,
normally, an English speaking one but whenever my parents wanted to
communicate with each other privately, they would do so in Konkani. We
children often eavesdropped on them. so we were forced to learn the language
if we wanted to comprehend what they were saying. They soon caught on to us
though. My parents would have laughed at us outright if we had to make a
mistake with the accent or diction. Add to this the longish spell that my
mother and we siblings spent in Goa.
With regard to non-Goans speaking Konkani, I have a Keralite friend in Vasco
who speaks flawless Konkani with the Vasco accent and all the trimmings -
idioms, cuss words and all. Again I have former professional colleagues
whose children cannot speak Malayalam worth a cent, but speak Konkani so
perfectly that one cannot identify their origins based on their speech!
If the young singer has taken offense at my comment, my abject and sincere
apologies!
I also have no wish to carry on this conversation further.

Re: [Goanet] Aum saiba... via Toronto!

2010-06-13 Thread floriano
I totally agree with Mervyn's critique  here on Jacinta Luiz's rendition of 
"aum saiba'


Let me say that I have had no opportunity to see this video since the time 
it was made available because of the download speed limitations here.
However, I did manage to be patient today, being Sunday, with a post FIFA 
hangover watching ENG Vs USA last night.


Any thoroughbred Goan will cringe at the vocals of the rendition.
Ex.
1.  It is 'Aga mojea Taria Mama" but she sings as "Aga Taria Taria Mama"
2. It is 'Kolvontacho' " . She pronounces it as 'Kolvontachu'
3. There is a great massacre on the chorus  'Shuimtim Mogrim' ..

My take:
-Jacinta has not taken into confidence any full-baked Goan on the 
preparation of this rendition.
-If this was done, most of the flaws (not the accent flaws which is 
acceptable in this case) would have been eliminated.
-It is a great attempt to assimilate Goans & Canadian cultures since the 
Goan population in Toronto (it is believed) is beating the Goans in Goa 
population. This should be commended, I mean the 'inclusive thing' rather 
than the 'exlusive'
- Jacinta Luis must have heard this rendition given at some (many) Goan 
function/s and has liked it, or,  since she is of Goan origin, has plough 
her way to do the song her own  (half-baked) way.
-The drummer is out of place (though it can be said that I don't understand 
classical aka jaaz music)
-The classical rendition cannot invoke the same response as the normal beat 
(tom tom) music that goes with this song, like for instance Remo's 
rendition.
-Last but not the least, my congratulations to Jacinta Luis for doing this 
"aum saiba' rendition in what I see as a public function.


BTW: I has asked for a review of this rendition from Goan guys I know in 
Toronto. Hopefully these will be encouraging rather than of outright 
contempt.

PS:  Comes to mind the story of the Indian Navy vessel visiting Mosambique. 
It goes like this:


At a cultural show organized in honour of the visiting India Navy personnel 
by the locals, one Indian Naval officer goes on the stage to a great 
applause from both sides. He takes the microphone and speaks and speaks, 
laughs and jokes making the audience laugh too (what the audience thought 
was accelent command over the language). He gets standing ovation and calls 
for encorre too, which he obliges.


On return to the vessel:
Co-Officer:  B*D ! How come you talk fluent Portuguese?
Officer: Who said I was talking Portuguese???

Actually,  what the he spoke, neither sides understood but thought it was 
the language of the other (and India is known to have many languages) .But 
he spoke none.

Folks,

Unfortunately, that link does not do justice to the talents of Jacinta Luis. 


Jacinta is a professor of music at a Canadian university and is heavily 
influenced by jazz. Her interpretation of "Aum Saiba" reflects this 
influence. I guess traditionalist would have a difficult time listening to her 
interpretation, the first time around. However, anyone, but anyone, can be a 
copycat and play a song in the traditional way. The essence of a musician is 
her version/delivery of any song. For example, here is Jacinta's version of 
"Summertime."   

http://www.youtube.com/user/jacintaluis#p/u/16/jhoURnzT8eM



Since Jacinta is a Cantangoan (Canadian, Tanzanian and Goan) like myself, I

Tony, let's say it's an expat Goan accent. Born in Tanzania probably,
raised in Canada. And what's wrong with that? Weren't you a toto in
Arusha too? Didn't your knowledge (or lack of knowledge) of Konkani
get laughed at when you first came down?

We're great for putting down each other. Language is a fantastic tool!

Didn't Bardezi speakers laugh at Xashti? Wasn't the "Konknno" and his
style of speaking depicted in crude stereotypes in the tiatr till the
other day (now that score is reserved for the Ghantin)? And didn't
Devanagari look down upon Romi? Or Antruzi select itself as the
fountainhead of all dialects, while also delegitimising the Pednem or
Kankonn dialects?

If we expect expat Goans to straightaway have flawless accents, forget
it! (My Malyalee, Telugu and other expat friends are also reporting
the loss of language, which Goans, being earlier migrants, had faced
earlier on in history.) Even in Goa "flawless" is a matter of
definition.

If we cease poking fun at others, there's a lot of scope for accents
to improve.  More so, with the Internet around, to learn from and
share ideas and examples. What's important is intention and affinity.
I think it's unfair to laugh at those making the effort. Feedback is
welcome, but why make it into a bitter pill? (I don't mean you...) FN

Re: [Goanet] Aum saiba... via Toronto!

The singer has murdered the beauty of the song and language too, coz of
improper diction and pronounciation of words.

Quite interesting, to say the least!!  A Goan woman singing Konkani but 
not with Goan musicians (the bass player and drummer) but with whites 
although I have no doubt, there are tons of excellent Goan musicians in 
Toronto!!  And, incidentally, since I am a drummer, the white drummer 
seems quite amateurish.  Looks like Goans will always pander to the 
whites.  That's why our beautiful land, Goa, has almost been taken over 
by the whites!!!  I will be copying you a couple of most interesting 
e-mails I have received showing how Goa has been absolutely decimated by 
the white influx.
