I would also be interested in buying a copy of the cassette. I
remember the song Buddi ka Bal as Nolasco sang it repeatedly as my
dad worked on finetuning it with Nolasco. I wish to know the names of
the songs on the cassette and if any name of music composer is given
on it.I used to laugh at its lyrics.
Buddki Ka Bal iincidentally is Hindi (as a slang perhaps) for
sugar-candy. Vendors used to come around on their bicycles shouting,
Buddi Ka Bal. As a kid I enjoyed it.
Coming again to Nolasco, his song Moipass with Jeanette is a good
melody and was a favourite on All India Radio Goa.. Thanks to Eddie
Verdes for sending me the MP3 version. I had a song Khoro Mog by Young
Chico and Nephie Rod with the same tune but some words are changed and
also the last verse. It is from William de Curtorim's cassette. I
believe William (God bless his soul) had a reputation for "remixing"
songs to avoid copyright problem.
Good to know that TAG is recognizing Nolasco's contribution to Goan
music and tiatr, though he staged an operrata called Amorechi Ghantto,
which did not find favour with Goians who were and still are in love
with tiatrs. Nolasco lost lot of money on put up the show.
