Mumbai, Aug 1: After a gap of around five years, Konkani singing legend the late Wilfy Rebimbus' melodious hits will be relived in Mumbai this October.

Henry D'Silva Suratkal, a well-known event organiser, writer and Konkani activist has taken the lead to ferry a 25-member troupe from Mangalore to present 'Wilfy Nite' in Mumbai.

Shows will be presented during the Diwali season from October 25. The exact dates have not been fixed, but according to the organisers, at least five shows will be presented across popular areas of Mumbai.

The team will consist of Meena Rebimbus, Vishwas, Claud D'Souza, Prem Kumar, Ivan Sequeira and others. The shows will be compered by Leslie Rego.

If organisers wish to present a show in any of the Mumbai venues, they may contact Henry D'SIlva on 09820625113 or 022-28369140

Wilfy Rebimbus passed away on March 9, 2010. In April 2011 for the first time after his demise a tribute in the form of a musical show was organised in Mangalore, which  received appreciation from the fans of the Konkan Kogull.

The speciality of the show will be that apart from Wilfy's compositions, new songs penned and composed by Veena Pais and Vishwas Rebimbus will also be presented.

More details on the show along with the dates and venues will be published in Daijiworld in the coming days.

    The only way to remember late Wilfy Rebimbus and his legacy of talent in Konkany Music is to encourage and support his family in whichever way possible so that many more "Wilfy Nites" can be performed in and around Mangalore.

    Life is a journey of many milestones of recollections and reflections that should motivate each and everyone of us, including the family of late Wilfy Rebimbus to come forward and display the talents of Konkany music of the past and present and pay tributes to late Wilfy for all that he has left behind thru his family and his community.

    On our part, we shall always remain willing to be of service and help any time. Duirng our next visit to Mangalore it would be nice to have Meena and the entire family for our Award Banquet for the Outstanding Leadership. Late Wilfy was the recipient of 2009-2010 Award that was posthumously presented to his family at the Beeri St. Aloysius complex. I would like Meena and Viswas to sing the song "Havn Yethan Ghati Devone" as a token of rememberance to Wilfy who sang that song for me almost 20 times while he was alive.

    It is a time for celebration, and we should find every conceivable opportunity to celebrate the life of late Wilfy Rembimbus so that his contributions to our Konkany community are not forgotten.
