“I
will continue singing until my last breath” said ‘Konkann
Kogull’ Wilfy Rebimbus on receiving an appreciation award from
Mangalore Konkans during a ‘Wilfy Nite’ musical extravaganza
at Al Nasr Leisureland on October the 11th in front of
a packed audience.
“The announcement
to say it is my last show in Dubai was made in an entirely
different context considering the present nite form.
It does not mean that I will stop singing.
An artiste
cannot say this.
As long as konkani people are with me these shows either in
this current nite form or altogether in a different form, will
continue” he further clarified referring the news appeared
in daijidubai.com and other print media. The
felicitation function was organised to honour the great konkanni
artist who is into konkanni music for almost 42 years now.

It
was a memorable evening with Wilfy and his group – Meena,
Vishwas, Prem Kumar, Sandria and Claud D’Souza - singing some of
the old as well as new numbers.
He sang the popular song ‘Philomena’ twice on repeated
requests from the audience, which touched many young and broken
hearts. ‘Sureachim
Kirnam’ sung by Vishwas, apart from the melody, talked about the
poet in Wilfy. Meena’s
song on the subject ‘time’ talked about philosophy and advised
people to stick to time.
The
dances added more glamour to the show.
Sudhi and Jyoti’s dance for the song ‘Singari’ was
well appreciated by the crowd.
The dances by Deepak were choreographed very well and
succeeded in depicting the true meaning of the songs.
‘Phokanam’
by Dolla, Claudy and their group brought in hilarity among the
audience. Dolla’s acting once again talked about the great
talents (including some magical tricks) of this great stage
artiste. Above all, a new face - Mr. Prem Alvares (son of konkanni
literateur Mr. Victor Alvares), showed that he has got lot of
potential in him to become a great performer of the stage very
soon.
The
entire show was compered very well by Mr. Manohar Pais.
His efforts to make the show more lively is commendable.
