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.
