Speaking on this occasion, Fr. John Pinto, OCD, Parish Priest of St. John The Baptist Church, Vijayanagar said, ‘We unanimously decided to organize the musical nite not only to raise funds for the refurbishment of the church, but also wanted Konkani lovers to unwind and have a wonderful evening.’ He also exclaimed the unity and support shown by non-Konkani speaking parishioners in mobilizing funds by supporting Wilson Olivera Nite.  

The event partner, Master Aaron Mathew Pais was felicitated and likewise all other sponsors were also honored during this occasion.  The parishioners also took this opportunity to felicitate, the star of the evening, ‘Wilson Olivera’. Pramila D’souza compered the formal stage function.

The evening began by invoking the Almighty’s Blessings which was later followed by a power packed entertainment of music, dance and comedy for three hours from Wilson Olivera and his team. Talented artists namely Babitha Pinto, Priya Menezes, Rony Crasta, Pradeep Pinto, Prashanth Pinto and Joseph Mathias were flown in from Mangalore and Dubai along with Mangalore’s famous dance troupe, Nach Sobhann and the comedy trio, Me-Mo-Ri.

The master of ceremony for the evening was none other than the remarkable and noteworthy compeer of Konkani, Ronald Olivera, the younger brother of Wilson, who ably compered the show and engaged the audience with his unmatchable oratory skills.
