Legendary musician Chris Perry passed away at his Margao residence on January 25, 2002 casting a gloom on Goa’s music fraternity. Forever etched in gold will be the role played by the self-taught diminutive maestro in gaining due recognition for Konkani music while taking it to dizzy heights. To him goes the credit of creating the singing sensation of all time, Lorna, together with whom Perry recorded Konkani music’s all-time classics. Although adept at playing any instrument, the trumpet it was that built the celebrity’s endearing image, while he left his mark on the Konkani Tiatr stage with Novro Mhozo Denvchar and Tum Ani Aum, and on the silver screen by producing the only colour Konkani film Bhuierantlo Munis. The 74-year-old virtuoso, who had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease, leaves behind his wife Lily and sons Giles, Glenn, Miles and Errol.
