Nachom-ia Kumpasar

(Let’s dance to the rhythm)

Every land has a story.

A story that seeps through its soul and touches every single generation in a way that only they know. For Goa, that story is Music…

The voice of Goa is the voice of its music. A lilting narrative that speaks of human failing and creative triumph, passion and jealousy, love and betrayal all in the same breath... blown lustily through the brass tubes of a jazz trumpet.

‘Nachom-ia Kumpasar’ is a Konkani musical feature film - a tribute to Goan Musicians. It celebrates Goan music in the eyes of erstwhile musicians of 1960s and 70s. It delves into 20 timeless Konkani songs that convey the pitch and rhythm they made their own.

These formidable musicians with their understanding of Western music changed Hindi film music forever. Anthony Gonsalves, Sebastian D'Souza & Frank Fernand were pioneers who introduced fusion orchestral music into Indian compositions.

Other legends collaborated with singers like Mohammed Rafi, Usha Uthup & Mangeshkar sisters. Bollywood music, till date remains heavily influenced by trends set by these musicians.

‘Nachom-ia Kumpasar’ is a nostalgic recreation of few of these Konkani musicians - unrecognized, unappreciated. And unsung.
