Remo

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

No, not that stupid Remo character in Shankar directed comedy film.

I am talking about Remo Fernandez, a one of a kind, truly multi faceted musician from Goa.

For starters, he are some of his Remoisms I loved

When America instituted awards for music, they took the first half of the word ‘gramophone’ and called them Grammies. Bombay film music directors would have to take the second half and call them Phonies.”

” There’s nothing as beautiful as a beautiful woman unaware of her beauty.”

” God created man and woman. Humans created husband and wife. I think we all agree that God is smarter than humans.”

” Everyone loves you posthumously. As long as you stay dead.”

Every now and then, I get to listen to his title song in the hindi film ‘Daud’ by Rahman. Electrifying piece!

I feel he did not get the recognition he deserved.

Here’s another instance of his brilliance which i bet you would’ve listened to often.
