Roshan D’Souza, Angelore

Konkani has witnessed the birth and growth of many Musicians. The number of musicians keeps increasing as days go by. But there are hardly any who have been backed by proper training and knowledge regarding the depths that music can dive into.  One of the prominent figures in this line is Sangeet Guru Joel Pereira.  He has produced some of the best pieces in Konkani music through his direction. 

 

Treading on the foot steps of his master is Roshan D’Souza, one of the best musicians present in Mangalore. Having won the award for the Best Musical Arranger for three consecutive years, Roshan D’Souza has indeed made a place for himself in the pages of Konkani Music.

Roshan D’Souza has been working for the upgrading of Konkani Music from the past sixteen years. He has performed for more than 200 music shows and has been the Music Director for more than 60 music shows. Roshan is spending a considerable period of time in sharing his musical knowledge among young minds at his Music School in Derebail.

Chandare was conceived in the minds of Lloyd Rego and Roshan D’Souza as yet another trend setter. Unlike the previous Music Albums released by this duo, Chandare incorporates Indian styles and Fusion Music. When Roshan and Lloyd join hands one can definitely look forward to a masterpiece. Novelty is what Roshan and Lloyd always aim at. Chandare displays its novelty through its Konkani Gazal. Sangeeth Guru Joel Periera, Roshan D’Souza and Lloyd Rego have partaken in the creation of this Konkani Gazal. One cannot doubt the fact that this Gazal will definitely win the hearts and appreciation of many.

Music has no language and it has no boundaries. Nithin has stood as a proof for these words. Nithin hails from Kerala and Konkani is something very distant to him. But he will definitely capture the attention of many as he has given a soul to the gazal by singing it.
