Alfred Rose comes `alive' - By Alister Miranda (Gomantak Times - Weekender)Nov 2003
Even after a month since Konkani's most versatile artiste Alfred Rose passed away, the Melody King's legion of fans all over the world haven't stopped mourning his demise. Their grief being aggravated by the fact that Konkani's most recognisable voice will never be heard again.
Even after a month since Konkani's most versatile artiste Alfred Rose passed away, the Melody King's legion of fans all over the world haven't stopped mourning his demise. Their grief being aggravated by the fact that Konkani's most recognisable voice will never be heard again.
However, they need not despair. As even though no new songs there will be, hear they will his voice again. Thanks to a just released compilation of Alfred's evergreen 'cantaram' that will surely bring forth tears of joy.
The man behind this soulful presentation is Rita Rose's brother-in-law Felix Correia of FC Global Music, who earlier had released two albums containing Alfred's vintage songs.
'The Very Best of Alfred Rose' is the first of the Collectors Series by FC Global Music that has been manufactured and marketed under licence from Saregama India Ltd. Remastered by Ryan Albuquerque, the audio contains 20 of Alfred's hits recorded between 1966 and 1977 by The Gramaphone Company of India Ltd.
`Juliana', `Sukh Ailem', 'Ha Ha Ha Kitem vo Sounsar', 'Kalchi Kodi', `Leticia', 'Bhuzlet Ozar', 'Cheddvam', 'Foll Goemche', 'Dudhsagar', 'Ghorkar', 'Gorchem Kestaum', 'Lakpoti Ponvoti', 'Lovely Esther', 'Moriadichi Khunn', 'Hai Re Hai', 'Angela', 'Beatrice', 'Goemchi Feni', 'Munglurkar' and 'Senorita' feature on the audio album.
A review of the famous time-tested songs being uncalled for, it would suffice to say that The Very Best of Alfred Rose is simply fantastic. Grab a copy before stocks run out.
