    Splenid Show! It was a total entertainment. Though the stage program was long , the songs of Wilson Olivera and team kept wanting for more. All songs were equally good and well written. Each song was unique in its own way. Each singer has given the best . Also the music by maestro Roshan was execellent with backing from Off pitch. Loved the song 'Vigaar' and this clearly shows the realy aspects of todays life. Wilson has understood the feelings of a preist and rendered beautifully. Heard this type song the first time. Also the song 'Ghadyal ravoc jatha' also was soothing .


    other love songs too were great sung by each and every singer. But i loved the best fast number from Prashanth Pinto " Mog naka mun chinthana' and also the duet sung by 'Robin & Carol

    The whole team was really professional in singing. loved the combination of professional singers and musicians. Also the style of Wilson Olivera music. He has kept the richness of Konkani music with only necessary changes as per modern music

    Long live Konkani and let more great songs arise from the Sangeet Sardar ' Wilson Olivera'

    Congratulation Wilson Olivera for the successful 50th Nite. It was a great show we all loved and enjoyed it. Let the almighty God give you more wisdom and thoughts to come up with more and more meaningful Lyrics. Continue your konkani music journey & hit double century. Among all your CD's the song which has Air India Crash, Mamma & Tribute to Wilfy Rebimbus was the best. In this show I really enjoyed all the songs. Your voice sounds same like Konkan Kogul.

    Dear Wilson Olivera, It was a excellent show. I could see changes in singing style this time. The background vocals in konkani musical show was the first time in the konkani history I believe. You changed the entire singing style this time, congratulations. This is the first experiment done in konkani. Loved Vigar song. All artist performed well. Elvina Song style was unique.

    Congratulations Sangeeth Sardar Wilson Olivera you have done a great job. Excellent performance from all artist. Very meaningful songs. Professionally organised by Stage program was too long. Organizers should avoid long stage programs. People wont come to listen speeches they come to listen music and entertainment. Always stage program should be short.

    Congratulation Sangeeth Sardar Wilson Olivera. Though I was not able to see your show live physically. Watched it live on daiji. There was some interruption in between later live was fine. Very nice compositions. Song like Elvina with western touch is required for today's generation. Well done Mr. Olivera.

    What a nite it was.Songs at its best.The music blowing to the delight of everyone.The crowd at their feet
    where every one applauding the songs along with the dance making a feeling of staying right on top of the world. Nellu jokes made us laugh and laugh especially the GAY joke .Songs like Elvina from Pradeep Pinto,Vigar , and a song from Stewart where a class of its own.But the man of the nite behind the success and behind the screen was my CHILDHOOD friend Alfred Bennis whose contribution was incredible

    Yes the show was too good. Nice song, Music, MC, Comedy and dance. Vigar song was nice. Elvina song was excellent, well composed with different style . Never heard this style in konkani before specially the last part of the song. Wilson you are the great and best composer in today konkani music. Keep up your good work for konkani.
