Deknni
Deknni (also spelled dekni, dekṇi, dekhṇi) is a semi classical Goan dance form. The plural of dekṇi in Konkani remains the same. Overview One of the earliest which may be dated around 1869 is ''Kuxttoba'' in which he is called "heir to India and terror of Goa", implying resistance to Portuguese rule. Kuxttoba was a member of the Salekar branch of the Rane family. Information about his birth, the reason and the course of his rebellion and the manner of his end are vague. He rebelled as an individual against the rule of the Portuguese in Goa but he presented no concept for a free Goa. One of the best known Deknni songs is ''Hanv Saiba Poltodi Vetam'' by Carlos Eugenio Ferreira (1860–1932) first published in Paris in 1895 and then in Goa in 1926 by Tipografia Rangel. The song was adapted by Raj Kapoor as ''Na mangoon sona chandi'' in his Hindi movie Bobby. The story that is depicted in this song is about two temple dancers who want to go for Damu's wedding and they approac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mando (music)
Mando or Manddo (Konkani ''mānḍô'') is a musical form that evolved during the 19th and 20th centuries among the Goan Catholics. It represents a meeting point of local Goan (Goa was part of Portugal at the time) and western musical traditions. The music has elements of both traditional Goan and western culture. The males wear formal coats while females wear Western dress. The dress worn during the mando dance was of velvet or silk, red, blue or green in colour, embroidered with gold (rarely with silver) threads. A white or blue shawl was worn. The socks had to be white and the slippers ornamented. This was all graced with a fan, which enhanced the lady's mood with a secret charm during the dance. Nowadays mandos are highlighted with their dance respective of their song. The plural of ''manddo'' in Konkani is ''mande''. The major theme of mandos is love. The charming singing enhances the performance. Instruments used in mando music are guitars, violins and the ghumot drum. T ...
