It is well said, ‘The King of Konkani music, Konkan Kogul Wilfy Rebimbus was not just an extraordinary musician but was a Konkani institution himself.’ It was he who gave new dimension to Konkani music and put Konkani Music on a higher pedestal. Without any doubt eternally resting with the Lord he is singing with heavenly Choir and his music still flows in our mind and heart.

The show will be entertained with hilarious comedy by local artists and variety of dances by talented dance groups.
The evening is sure to take the music lovers down the memory lane.. Promising entertainment for Wilfy’s fans, who have been eagerly awaiting to listen to his meaningful songs.
This event is particularly organized not only to entertain and rejuvenate the minds of our Konkani Community residing here in Kuwait but also to promote and support Konkani Music, Culture and Language, bearing in mind the fast changes in life style and mode of communication all over the world effecting our beloved Konkani language and culture to its root.
