I think you are refering to the band "The Demello Brothers." Remy moved to the Middle East and played there for some time. He then came to Toronto and had his band here too. Unfortunately, he suffered a heart attack some years ago and is bedridden. The youngest brother, Francis has a one man band here in Toronto. The most famous Goan musician from Tanzania must be George D'souza. He used to have his own 30 minute show on Radio Tanzania on Saturday nights. George looked like and used to sing in the Tom Jones style. He move to Toronto and performed at the Royal York, Toronto's top hotel, for 20 years.
