Mangalore, April 17: Among the Mangalorean Konkani artistes there are very few who have chosen Konkani music as their career. Taking Konkani music as a profession is not so fruitful or lucrative. There are not many examples of success. Of course, Wilfy Rebimbus, the legend, is indeed a role model for others, who has dedicated his life for Konkani music.
Claud, who is in the footsteps of WIlfy, is another artiste who has chosen Konkani music as his career. Though his music is accepted by the music-lovers and he is among popular singer, he is still struggling to stand on his own feet. He has still a huge volume of talent left in him which can be properly tapped in the direction of making Konkani music still richer. At this point of time, he seeks your blessings and patronage to attain further progress in his career.
'Karavali Konkans' Mangalore, is a brain-child of young artistes to promote art and culture in its purest form, has been lying low for some time. It has now come out with a master-stroke of staging a grand Claud Nite in great style.
"Claud is in the music field for over 25 years. He has a good number of musical albums to his credit, and has already staged 37 own musical nites in Mangalore, Mumbai and all over the Middle East. The 38th Claud Nite which is going to be staged on May 7 in Don Bosco Hall, Mangalore is surely going to be remembered as one of the best events of the year.
