Music
has been called the spice of life and hence no occasion is complete
with music. One fine Saturday we happened to drop in the Saturday Bazaar
at Arpora-Baga among the several stalls, was a small stage and which
an African band was playing some of the hottest music. What I enjoyed
most was the Swahili songs which they rendered so magnificently. Tough
guys they looked, playing the guitar and various kinds of percussion
instruments. They sang so coolly, almost effortlessly, and yet produced
so much ryhthm and harmony.
The
Swedish-Goan pop group, VIP, released their maiden English audio "Enjoy"
recently at Alva Mar in Parra, at the hands of rockstar Remo Fernandes.
It was while playing at the food festival in Miramar that Rebecca and
Fredrik Quiterio got inspired to cut their own music album. With "Enjoy",
a techno-pop mix aimed at the youth and partygoers who enjoy simple,
easy and catchy tunes, doing handsomely well at the music shops, the
young couple plan to produce a video of their album. Rebecca's father
hails Parra and her mother is Swedish, so is her husband Fredrik, who
has adopted her surname Quiterio.
