Gone are the days when we would await Johnson's
(Joazinho Carvalho) spiccato, to make a bee-line to beseech the
comely damsels to grace the dance floor, when Johnson's mellifluous
strains of his beloved violin wafted dreamily through the air.
With the advent of amplified music, the earlier
cherished strings and wind instruments were left to collect cobwebs
and dust, to pave way for the electric guitars, synthesizers,
and electronically enhanced percussion instruments, to gormadize
on the center stage. Lest we forget, the sequencing heralded the
erroneous tidings over the true sense and values of artistry and
music.
However the old styles and absolute music is re-emerging anew, with people being discontented with the cacophony of sound and ear-splitting experience, and that is precisely what the "Big Country Band" with Melcon on violin / lead guitar/Keyboards/Mandolin; Desmond on Bass; Joey on keyboards and Sergio on Drums; is set to flourish - a happy amalgamation of the old and the new.
The "Big Country Band" has already carved
their singularity in the Goan musical environs after performing
for various events and functions in and around Goa and abroad.
Their accomplished credentials enables them to bring
forth a talented expertise that is both lush in harmony and multifaceted
in instrumentalization. Their music, with the violin as the main
bastion, encompasses the classic oldies from the golden '40's,
to the vibrant contemporary trend, performed adroitly in its unique
flair.
On quality music, the "Big Country Band's concept
is: "if you are true to yourself and ambitious to be constructive
in life, one should keep moving forward. On doing so, one encounters
very knowledgeable people in different fields. The quality of
music is a must. This comes only through constant practices, acquired
styles and considerable proficiency.
