Re: [Goanet] DEATH: Prof Noel Flores, Austria, who made history abroad in the field of music....
Hi Alfred, I thank you, Gabriel and all others, who have responded to my request for information on Noel Flores. We did not know much about Flores, several years ago, when I had mentioned about him in the Village Voice article in "Goa Today". All that I had seen then was the house at Vaddi in Siolim, which seems to be suffering from lack of maintenance. Of course, I have not been in its vicinity lately. Anyway, today we know so much about the great Goan musician, through friends like you. Thanks again. Regards. Joel.

Hi Alfred, Thank you for that little piece of information. I know that our ancestors came from someplace near Sancoale. But I heard that they had to run away as an ancestor had the audacity to ride his horse through a Catholic procession - how far this is true, I have no idea, but a plague seems to be more plausible. Dr Ananta, I believe, used to say we descended from a Naique family.

Hi Gabriel, It is very sad to note that Goa has lost another eminent musician - Noel Flores. It has been mentioned that Noel lived in Panjim once. However, do you know if he had any Siolim connection? There is a house at Vaddi in Siolim, and it is said that it belongs to him. Similarly, I would like to know the exact date on which he expired, I seem to have missed it somehow. Thanks & Regards. Joel.
Re: [Goanet] DEATH: Prof Noel Flores, Austria, who made history abroad in the field of music....
Another great Goan pianist has left us. His rendition of Manuel de Falla's Fire Dance at the Academia de Musica, in Fontainhas, way back in early 70s when he visited Goa, left me with my mouth open in amazement. That was the occasion when the Academia held a gathering of all students to honour the great musician, on his first visit to Goa after some fifteen years abroad. May his soul rest in peace.
