REMO-"MUCHACHA LATINA" Original Video

[TheIndigomax]

hey remo....where can i find copy of ur album politicians dont know to rock and roll.....

[luisdiego29]

Com certeza todos vocês têm o melhor de ocidente e o oriente, sua cultura é Indiana de fato, mais a herança mediterrânea fica aí mesmo, na danças e a músicas, na alegria de sua gente, e Goa é uma jóia preciosa no litoral da Índia

Y saludes desde mi país Costa Rica en la América Central, realmente es muy gratificante escuchar nuestra música desde el otro lado del mundo, muchos éxitos amigo.

[luisdiego29]

Certainly the girl dances and sings as if she were a woman from the Dominican Republic or the Cuba, but in fact she is of India, and possibly of Goa, a land rich in Latino heritage, an interesting mix of East and West.

[TheRemoFernandes]

@luisdiego29 You're right, Luis! She's of German/Indian parentage. but grew up in Goa, which as you said is rich in Latino heritage. Very interesting and rich combination indeed. Thanks very much for enjoying it.

[luisdiego29]

@TheRemoFernandes My friend you have much talent, and is at a crossroads of cultures (Western and Eastern), and which allows you to create a wide variety of musical genres, as well as Indian music, of Goa (Konkani) and those related with portuguese heritage, you should take this great opportunity, good luck. Saudações de Costa Rica, na América Central..uma pequena mais muita grande nação de cultura hispana que ama a paz e a liberdade. "Pura Vida"..

[anthonyfernandes3]

REMO, U R THE HEARTHROB AND AN ARTISTIC ICON OF GOA. SINGING, PLAYING AND DANCING ON THE STREETS, AS WELL AS THE ELITEST OF PLACES, IS YR HALLMARK. REMEMBER WHEN U STOPPED THE ENTIRE TRAFFIC ON THE STREETS OF CALANGUTE, ON 5TH DEC, '93, IN THE DRIZZLE, WHEN U INUGURATED FALCON RESORTS? CAN'T STOP THANKING YOU. U R A TREASURE FOR US, GOANS. TONY FERNANDES.

[MrJohndcosta]

Great Cinematography, locations, concept and acting...cool work Remo...

[GATINAdeMETIXMAN]

@zensprite - you wish you was hot latina - indian whore - plagarist "journalist"! EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR WRITING IS NOT YOURS! SHE'S A MAN EATER

[frani1304]

WOW BRAVOOOOO.

[denzee13]

Remo..please keep the goan-porto flag flying high...i wish you could teach a few things to the newcomers who sing in konkani....all they do is copy from hindi songs, Choreography is a joke, some just pretend to play guitar...feels like watchin a 70s hindi song...

wish u success irmao.

[RemoFernandes]

@denzee13 Thank you, Denzee. You're right about the Konkani scene, but it can only improve as Goan artists keep getting exposed to international music and videos today, through YouTube and TV channels. Hopefully they'll be inspired by their ORIGINALITY, and not copy them too! :-) Having said that, I think there are a few Goan artists who are attempting originality nowadays. Long live Konkani!

[sheode12]

@denzee13 Where are u REMO.U have u r own Music and be Proud of it Dear and very few Indians have their own to say.Remo I like your Music as it is from the heart of Goa and a mix of Konkani best.One of the sweet language Come out with new videos waiting for more..........................

Wish u the best..

[denzee13]

Remo..please keep the goan-porto flag flying high...i wish you could teach a few things to the newcomers who sing in konkani....all they do is copy from hindi songs, Choreography is a joke, some just pretend to play guitar...feels like watchin a 70s hindi song...

Que bien,Que bien!! Amigo Remo mucha gracias por tu buena respuesta.Y que raro que esa señorita tiene un nombre come YELLOW!! que raro verda?Pues, Si,en verdad,ella se puede pasar por una cubana,PORQUE su padre (con el bigote y la barba larga) tambien es el Señor Fi......Castro!!!)

[RemoFernandes]

@bikribikri Hahaha! Sim, e verdade! :-)

[bikribikri]

Hola Mi amigo Remo de siolim!! Primeramente te queiro felicitar por dos canciones tuyas que me gustaron mucho.La primera cancion es :La muchacha latina,y la segunda es La cancion de la flueta(flute song) Soy muy orgulloso de usted porque eres una estrella muy brillante de la musica de GOA.Eres talentoso y tambien muy humilde(asi me dijeron muchos de tus amigos!!) Remo,antes de terminar, queiro preguntarte algo.Si esa muchacha que baila contigo es una verdadera Latina o una de tu pueblo? Chao!!!

[RemoFernandes]

@bikribikri Ola Bikri, estou certo que vais compreender o meu Portugues, da mesma maneira como compreendo o teu Espanhol. Muito obrigado pela tua bela mensagem! A 'muchacha' na video e uma bela mulher que se chama 'Yellow', e que tem mae Europea e pai Indiano. Pode passar por uma Cubana, que tambem tem muita mixtura! Ciao - Remo.

[bikribikri]

KING OF GOAN POP, thats our REMO.Right from his winning song with Miss HEMA in Germany,to his double platinum smash cassette "PACK THAT SMACK",to his chartbusting songs in film "BOMBAY",to his jamming with LORNA(they belt IEO BAILE with such conviction) Remo has done it all.At home though he is very quite.Still in love with his French born wife,likes gazing at sunsets with a glass of Mexican tequila,reads,and simply loves watching Bipasha basu movies(in his secret room though,in the basement)

[RemoFernandes]

@bikribikri Wow, thanks a lot, Bikri! You've got most things right, except: a] My French wife and I have been divorced for the last 3 years; b] I never much liked tequila, my favourite drinks in this world are Goan "urraca" and Brazilian "caipirinha"; c] I don't watch Bipasha Basu movies, never watched one in my life; and d] I have no basement! But you get full marks for imagination and fiction writing. Hahaha! :-) Take care, and all the best always.

[NaliniXS]

Comment removed... wonder why... anyway...

[RemoFernandes]

@NaliniXS I wonder why too... and I wonder who removed it, if not you... What did it say anyway, Nalini?

[NaliniXS]

@RemoFernandes

Hi Remo... dunno.. something has happened! Among the Fidel person hahaha on the video... a bit odd... I said that i know the place... Fontainhas, near the poço.. close to Capela S.Sebastiao. I used to live near the place.

Met u in Goa in 2005, at Hannah's wedding.

[RemoFernandes]

@NaliniXS Its strange how your message got 'removed', Nalini. Its scary in fact, that a third person is able to remove normal messages from my YouTube site! Yes, you got the place right alright, its but natural since you've lived there. Yes I remember Hanna's wedding of course, but can't place you, I'm afraid... Perhaps you could email me a photo to get these old memory cells working?

[NaliniXS]

@RemoFernandes HAHAHAHA okidoki.. I'm Carmita's friend. And there were FUB LOK there.. so it's only natural!

[RemoFernandes]

@NaliniXS Ah, Carmita's friend! Small world! :-) Great meeting you on YouTube, after Ribandar! Now it comes to me... in your first post [which got removed], did you ask why the song was about a Latina, and not about a Portuguese girl, in the Portuguese language, or something like that? I remember glancing at a notification email from YouTube with such a message... Was that you?

[NaliniXS]

@RemoFernandes

No, i said something about a Cuban girl with Fidel and all. A Portuguese girl could never teach you chachacha... maybe "oh malhão, malhao!" *LOL* There was ANOTHER guy criticizing somebody else about some other song and asking her whether she thought that only Goan people should sing in konkanin.For me, the issue was the choreography! You change the music and that will make no difference. And it's so funny watching the girls dancing the dulpodas wearing Seville dresses! anyway

[NaliniXS]

@RemoFernandes

u have tons of people awaiting for you to accept them on Facebook. Anyway, i'm Carmen Miranda's friend. Sent u the pic... you can see yourself on the boat on the Mandovi river, on our way to Hannah's wedding.

[Jurgenmycroft]

Lovely... Nice to see familiar faces in the video as well. Colin, Mukesh & late Agapito.

[RemoFernandes]

@Jurgenmycroft Yup, they're all there! :-) And Yellow, the 'muchacha', is the owner of the "Fiesta" restaurant in Baga.

[sirach]

Espero que mas de Goans hablen el portugues... es innegablemente parte de la cultura de Goa! Viva a Goa! Viva a hispanidade!

[RemoFernandes]

@sirach Viva!!!! :-)

[ayangos]

estas bueno amigo

[RemoFernandes]

@ayangos Gracias, Ayangos! De donde es tu? Yo no hablo Espanol, hablo Portugues... pero se compreende un poquito, non? :-)

[ayangos]

@RemoFernandes Lived in Argentina for a while. Currently settled in Hilton Head, SC (USA). Am rooting for your songs to be available on iTunes soon

[RemoFernandes]

@ayangos Thanks, Ayangos! Negotiations are on right now with a world-wide digital distribution company.

[hilda6089]

[RemoFernandes]

@hilda6089 Thank you Hilda! My songs ought to be available on iTunes, Amazon, etc soon... Will post the news here on YouTube as soon as the distribution is in place.

[Buchu16]

Can u guide me how to find ooh la la my ocean queen

[RemoFernandes]

@Buchu16 That song is out of circulation at the moment, Buchu. I'm re-recording it though, and the new version and video ought to be out - not so soon, I might add. Thank you for your interest!

[rohitkumarindia]

@RemoFernandes

can u tell me da name of his actress ? she is very nice

[RemoFernandes]

@rohitkumarindia Hi Rohit, her name is Yellow. Lovely rare name, isn't it?

[rohitkumarindia]

@rohitkumarindia

full name ???????

[rohitkumarindia]

@rohitkumarindia

can you tell me her full name ??????

[RemoFernandes]

@rohitkumarindia Very honestly, I don't even know her full name! :-) I just know her as Yellow...

[thekingofmoney2000]

Latin culture is beautiful...Portuguese or Spanish...

[RemoFernandes]

Sure is, King!

[BubblesPothowari]

Remo, a music genius of Dona Pola, Panjim, a gem of India.........

[RemoFernandes]

@BUBBLES and INDIANCRAB, thanks a lot for your good words! By the way, I never lived in Dona Paula... First in Panjim, then Miramar, studied in Mumbai for 5 years, lived and travelled in Europe for 3 years, and then settled in our ancestral village Siolim for many years now.

[BubblesPothowari]

Dear Remo, may we have your German Nursery rhyme at the music festival, for good old times !!!

[Indiancrab]

fantastic remo fernandez. keep it up

[luisdiego29]

Como já diz noutra oportunidade a canção Muchacha Latina tem uma mistura muita especial das músicas do Brasil, mas com certeza do Caribe, de Cuba e da República Dominicana, é uma delícia de fato, com muito sabor hispano, mas com certeza o vídeo foi gravado no bairro das Fontainhas na cidade de Panjim em Goa.

[RemoFernandes]

Obviamente, Luis! E como eu disse no fim da video - mas acho que essa parte foi cortada.

[luisdiego29]

Todo bem amigo, com certeza a música de Goa, e a sua própria tem um sabor especial, uma mistura deliciosa entre Índia e Portugal, entre o mundo Oriental e o Ocidental, pelo que é fácil achar ate um pequeno sabor hispano, lindo de fato. Saudações de Costa Rica.

[TheMina31]

Parabens Remo! E obrigada, pelo teu sentido de humor! Beijo desta prima Portuguesa!

[RemoFernandes]

Ola, quem e que e esta prima tao gentil, mas que se chama TheMina31? :-) Um grande abraco! Remo.

[prajwalrulzz]

[RemoFernandes]

No, "Maria Pita Che" has still not been made into a video, but I'm planning to shoot it soon. Will keep you posted for sure. Thanks so much for liking that song! :-)

[aggybaba]

[bikribikri]

This is for Remo! hey Remo i wish you and Goas Nightingale LORNA had got together and recorded some nice goan portuguese songs,i know Remo that u are a fan of Lornas,so why not collaborate with her and bring the house down? i am sure it will be a big success as both of you are talented and famous and the best in Goa,so adelantale amigo Remo y realiza ese sueno para toda la gente de Goa por favor!!!

[bikribikri]

Ola Senhor LUISDIEGO,Muito obrigado! Como esta mio Amigo! Se eu estiver em Costa RIca no futuro posso te visitar para uma bebida!!! Ate logo Amigo LuisDIego!

[luisdiego29]

Obrigado me amigo brikibriki, eu fico contente com suas palavras, com certeza a gente de Goa é linda e fina de fato, pessoas que amam a vida, o fruta da convivência de mais de 400 anos de indianos e portugueses, que fizeram de esta terra um paraíso de fato, aqui você tem um amigo, outro latino como você.

[tamilhindu]

Naughty video ! Castro should watch this...aww, u made him break a cuban :)

haven't seen much music from u after " o mere munne "

my most fav track is " ocean queen " followed by " graham bell ". are there music videos for those ?

[luisdiego29]

bikri bikri, Amigo, com certeza Goa é um lugar muito especial, um ponto de encontro entre ocidente e oriente, uma mistura maravilhosa de Europa e Índia, com um grande património e uma história legendária.

[bikribikri]

Mucha gracias Sr.Luis Por tus buenas palabras y soy muy orgulloso de mi Goa.Que dios te bendiga mi amigo.Luis Ferrao(El bikri bikri !!!)

[luisdiego29]

Hola amigo, para ser usted de Goa, escribe muy bien español, definitivamente escribe en buen castellano, es un gusto encontrar en ese pedazo de paraíso que es Goa, gente que guste de la música latino americana, en lo particular también me gusta mucho la música y la cultura en general de la India, saludos desde Costa Rica en la América Central.

[WATCH321100]

I love this very much - Very much of a blend between the western and the eastern blend.

Thanks Remo...

[joe6405]

Remo Frenandes.... The pride of Goa.

Do countine your good for fans.

Viva Goi!

[RemoFernandes]

Thanks very much, Joe! Will surely try!

[RemoFernandes]

Yes, Luis, it was my intention to show the similarities between all the old Portuguese and Spanish colonies in terms of architecture, dress, music, etc. It could've been Cuba, Brasil, etc... but it was in Goa, India! By the way I am Remo, I don't know why my name shows here as satyanaraya1... Strange!!!

[luisdiego29]

Parece uma rua na Habana Vieja Cuba ou em Santo Domingo Republica Dominicana, mas não, possivelmente é o Bairro das Fontainhas na cidade de Goa em Índia.

It looks like a street in Havana Vieja Cuba or in Santo Domingo Dominican Republic, but not, possibly it is the the Fontainas's Neighborhood in Goa's city, in India.

[satyanaraya1]

Muito obrigado, Luis! De onde e voce? Eu cresci escutando muita musica Latina aqui em Goa, que entao era colonia Portuguesa. Adoro essa musica! Como musica Goesa e Indiana, claro. Um abraco - Remo.

[luisdiego29]

Olá, todo bem satyanaraya1, eu sou de Costa Rica, na América Hispana, mas adorou a língua e cultura portuguesa, e de fato também gosto muito da história de Goa.

[luisdiego29]

The song has a strong Caribbean flavor: Cuban and of Dominican Republic, definitively is chacha, the excellent Latin flavor, delicious, in spite of having been a compound and interpreted by a Goa group, congratulations my friends, excellent work.

[luisdiego29]

A canção tem um forte sabor caribenho: cubano e de Republica Dominicana, com certeza é o chacha, o sabor latino por excelência, delicia, ainda de haver sido composto e interpretado por um grupo de Goa, parabéns meus amigos, excelente trabalho.

[RemoFernandes]

Hi all, thank you so very much for the lovely messages! I'm sorry I haven't been regular in asnwering stuff on YouTube... but I promise I will be from now on. I'd love to answer each one now, but I guess its too late and you won't be accessing this site? Anyway, love and light to you - Remo.

[melissa20dsilva]

Hi Remo,

Thanks 4 yr sweet message...... I am happy that u thanked us...... you are a sweet man indeed........ I love you.......and love to hear this song many a times.... and I am really proud to be a Goan........ You are Goood. :) Melissa.......

[satyanaraya1]

Thank you, Melissa! And where do you live now?

[melissa20dsilva]

may i know who r u......?

[pop9eye]

me too, yo tambien, still in Sioim Remo?

[melissa20dsilva]

Hey Remo,

You are lovely. I just love this song.

[sonalusgaonker]

I bet you filmed this video in my part of the town (Fontainhas?) I grew up there, man! Went to Mary Immaculate Conception school, ogled the boys from People's High School, .... your music brings back old memories. Luv ur music, Remo!

I even have a photographic memory of dancing to ur music at the Miramar beach, many years ago, for the Seafood festival event. luv it luv it!!!!

[satyanaraya1]

Thanks Sonal, good to read about your 'adventures' in Fontainhas! I love that part of Panjim, and you're lucky to have grown up there. Of course ALL of Panjim was more or less that way when I grew up - lovely painted houses with gardens and flowers, no traffic, no garbage and pollution, everyone knowing and caring for one another... Paradise.

[mendoncaangelo]

dont know why remo did not sing this song in portuguese, he sounds like most goans speaking hindi....

[satyanaraya1]

And why should Goans not sound like Goans speaking Hindi, Angelo?! We love different accents from Jamaicans, Africans, Americans - and even try to imitate them. But you think we ought to be embarrassed of our own accents? I'm not.

[mendoncaangelo]

alright....good for u

[baadindyan]

lol, the woman's father looks like fidel castro

[satyanaraya1]

Yes, that's exactly who he's supposed to look like! :-) Glad you noticed. By the way, that actor, called Agapito, expired a few weeks ago. May his soul rest in peace. He was a wonderful, fun-filled man.

[sonalusgaonker]

I'm your greatest fan, Remo!

Keep up the good work.

This time I visit India, I'll surely buy more of your music CDS.

My aunt is from Shivolim and when I visit her place I'm certainly going to pass by your ancestral home.

I wish you all the best and lotsa warm Christmas greetings for you and your family.

Mog Sodanch..Viva Goa!

[JOHNPETE07]

Remo, this a great effort by a goan singer. Have made us goan proud of you

[RemoFernandes]

@JOHNPETE07 Thanks a lot, John!

[thaans]

Very refreshing video, and the music is phenomenal... a seamless fusion of the Indian and Latin music styles. The flute gives this song a cheery and breezy appeal. I'll use this forum to say that "India Beyond" is one of your richest albums yet, and hope that the readers of this review check it out. Hope to see more of your videos on youtube.

[priscillarathore]

You've done a great job to pull in fans internationally, and made Goans proud, however I really wish you could pull the teenage crowd to Salvation through Gospel songs of praise and worship.

God Bless you.
