Bangalore : Konkani Samudai presents succesful Olivera nite


Media Release by Charles Gomes

Bangalore, Jul 29: It was a special day for the Konkani lovers of Bangalore as the 38th ‘Wilson Olivera Nite' enthralled over 1,000 people packed in Good Shepherd auditorium. The event was organized by ‘Konkani Samudai’ Jayanagar, Bangalore and was partnered by a popular entrepreneur of Sharjah, UAE, Lawrence D’souza and co-sponsored by many well wishers.  Incidentally it was during his tenure as the president of SMMKC,Sharjah, Wilson Olivera Nite organized at the Sheikh Rashid Auditorium, Dubai too saw a ‘house full’ crowd were several Konkani lovers had to return home without tickets. 

Indeed this particular show was expected to be a grand gala as the tickets were sold out a day before the events, perhaps for the first time in the history of Bangalore.  It was not easy to understand the cause for such an overwhelming response – whether it was Wilson Olivera’s popularity or the Internationally acclaimed Master of Ceremony Ronald Olivera’s 50th Konkani show as an MC or the sheer hard work of the committee members of ‘Konkani Samudai”, Jayanagar.  At the end of the program, it was evident that it was the combination of all the three factors.









































































The Program started with the enthralling welcome from Charles Gomes, the founder of the association, who invited the chief guest Aida D’cunha. Chairperson – FKCA, President of Konkani Samudai Irene D’souza , Secretary Vinod Monteiro and Immediate Past President Lawrence Saldanha to the dias. After lighting of the lamp Mrs. Irene D’souza welcomed the chief Guest , other invitees and the audience. Chief Guest Aida D’cunha congratulated Konkani Samudai in their endeavors towards keeping the Konkani active and welfare of the society. In his Vote of thanks speech Vinod Monteiro thanked all sponsors , well wishers and the  audience for the overwhelming support.  

The long awaited musical nite began with ‘Sangeeth Sardar’ Wilson Olivera singing ‘Punvecho Chandrem Laztha’.  The tremendous applause from the audience was a proof enough to show that they appreciated the melodious voice of ‘Konkani Mannik’ Wilson Olivera.  Then entered the Master of Ceremony Ronald Olivera in the midst of the thunderous applause, who set the stage on fire with his wit, humour and fluency in the language.   There was no looking back since then.
The other famous singers Rony D’Cunha, Zeena Pereira , Robin Sequera, Pradeep Pinto, Babita Pinto, Carol Sequera and Stuart Olivera were the perfect match for the show.

    From the report I understand that it was a successful Konkani show. I know the talent with Olivera brothers. With added stars of Konkani stage I hope that the show has inspired at least a few to speak Konkani.
