Hullo Atuldom
The roots of the Carnival in Goa date back to the introduction of Roman Catholic traditions during the Portuguese conquest of Goa, & is being celebrated since the XVIII century. After the end of Portuguese rule, the Brazilian version of the festival was imposed by Timoteo Fernandes in 1965, a Goan musician who modeled it after the famed Rio Carnival. This was done to attract more tourism. Today, the urban parade includes floats from local villages, commercial entities, and cultural groups. It is still organised in a very traditional manner, including staging of streetside local plays, in the coastal taluka of Salcete.
The Carnival usually starts off on Fat Saturday (known as Sabado Gordo) and concludes on Fat Tuesday (known as Shrove Tuesday), just before Ash Wednesday and the first day of the Catholic season of Lent. In Panjim, the capital of Goa, the festival is complemented by Grape Escapade, a local wine festival, and a dance at Samba Square in the centrally-located Garden of Garcia da Orta.
According to local tradition, during Carnival Goa is taken over by King Momo, usually a local resident who presides over the festival during the four-day span. King Momo traditionally proclaims the Konkani message Kha, piye aani majja kar (English: “Eat, drink and make merry”).
I am sure that the readers will have more information regarding this festival of Goa, & I expect our very own Sadanand Kamathji to enlighten us further.
Any idea why this sudden interest towards the Goan Carnival ? Well today’s song shows the parade that accompanies the Carnival.
The song was composed by Anu Malik (DOB 02/11/1960) & sung by Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Hema Sardesai & Jolly Mukherjee. Nitin Raikwar was the lyricist. We can see Puneet Vashisht (who mouths the opening lines of the song), Ali Asgar, Priya Gill (makes her entry dressed in Egyptian costume), Sushant Singh, Vivek Vaswani etc. dancing merrily alongside Aishwarya Rai. The song is shot outside the church in Panaji which has featured in numerous films. (I tried visiting it on my last trip to Goa, but it was closed for renovation).
The song happens at the beginning of the climax. Shahrukh Khan gets to know the truth about his father, mother etc. from Nadira.
During the course of looking up material for this post I discovered that Puneet Vashisht & Harsh Vashisht (who played a blink and miss role in ‘Baghban’) are the children of character actor Brahmachari whose birth name was Murari Lal. (I feel our in-house encyclopedia will be able to give us more on Brahmachari).
We are having this lively song to have a party like feeling as it is our Sudhirji’s birthday. Wishing you a very very very happy birthday Sudhirji. May you find time to revive all the series that you had begun.
We also wish Shahrukh Khan & Anu Malik on their birthday today. Plus Belated wishes to the Miss World 1994 Aishwarya Rai who turned 50 on 1st November.
