Konkani Kala Manch Mumbai is scheduled to present a series of 6 ‘Konkan Kalasri’ Claud D’Souza’s 'Claud Nites' in Mumbai from November 11 to 15.
Claud, who is not only an ace music composer but a versatile actor, director and compere all rolled into one, is also expected to bring out his latest music album early next year.
