That’s what most people come here for. This is Francis de Tuem’s ninth work “Ger’rak Nhoi Vor’rak Melo”. While his songs did ultimately have a message, it was his political songs that most captivated audiences.
Here, too, Francis doesn’t disappoint in his debut.
“Problems arise when people convert, but the Chief Minister Pramod Sawant He himself converted 10 MPs and brought them into the BJP,” he sang, a line that was cheered by the overwhelmingly Catholic audience. Another line wondered, “If the BJP is a secular party, why do you want a Hindu Congress?”
Francis is best known for his political songs. He has been harshly critical of the BJP and has not spared the Congress, having received threats from politicians or their supporters in the past. It had no effect and he was in no mood to remain silent, especially with an election looming.
“I don’t know if my songs will have an impact, but this is my mission and I can’t lose it,” Francis told The Times of India after the show. “When the pastor preached, not everyone was convinced, but some listened to every word he said and became converted. Even if two people in the audience took my message home with them, I was happy.
It’s not for nothing that Francis is known as the king of political songs.The Queen’s crown remains safe Olga Watts. Here’s why.
In the same song, she insulted CM Sawant. Many other songs border on regionalism and sexism. For example, Olga took to the stage with a sari in hand and told Social Welfare Minister Subhash Pal Desai that if he did not withdraw the police response to the protest against the installation of Chhatrapati Shivaji in San Jose Complaints of the villagers of the statue” de Areal.
“People applaud when politicians are criticized and they love it, but I’m not sure if the song or the words will survive after they leave the hall,” said Socorro de Santa Cruz, lead singer of Konkani Stage. “Stay in their minds, though, as a singer you can feel the direct impact of the way the crowd reacts. “
Politicians are used to such criticism, especially from therapists. Most turned a deaf ear, while some picked up the phone to confront the singer. Others say many politicians adopt an elephant philosophy – they keep walking while the dogs keep barking.
Criticism of politicians and parties is particularly fierce during elections.
A quartet of Goa’s most famous singers, Lawry Travasso, warns Savant that if Goans wakes up in London, Goans will send him back to “Savantwadi” . Not surprisingly, the song was cheered when it was performed in Hounslow, England.
Another song by Saby De Divar compares politicians to fish. Calangute MLA Michael Lobo once sarcastically compared him to a buranto (glass bass).
There is also an all-out war in favor of political parties and politicians. While Cajie D’Costa was extremely critical of the RG and its supreme leader Manoj Parab (not named) in “Tum MP Zatoloi?”, Elsie Falco in her song “Goem Amchem Sambaltele” argued that the party is the only hope.
When the Lok Sabha polls are over, politicians choose new topics to “educate the masses” but no matter the season, politicians continue to be the favorite punching bag.
