And one person among many others, who had entertained the crowd at Catholic Roce or a wedding reception for over 45 years is none other than Harry D’Souza aka “Harryaam”, the evergreen trumpeter of His Brass Band “Harry’s Silver Band” – and even though he sold his business to different band members, Harryaam on special request does make his appearances at Catholic or few other joyous occasions, where he still makes his presence felt, and brings back his brass band music alive, improvised and modernized, so that it is accepted by one and all.Īfter he retired from ‘Harry’s Century band’, Harryaam took up the gauntlet to become the band Leader of “United Artists Band” a music group, under the able leadership of music maestro F M Lobo, and Himself, both residents of Bejai, Mangaluru, where the band has entertained inmates of Old-Age Homes, Ashrams, and NGO’s free of cost, thereby putting smiles on the less fortunate people, and also making a difference in their lives. Since everyone is listening to different parts of the music–she to the trumpet melody, he to the bass drum, she to the trombone or Saxophone–the audience is a working model in three dimensions of the music, a synesthetic transformation of materials. The dancers interpret, or it might be better to say literally embody, the sounds of the band, answering the instruments. When a brass band plays at a function, it’s as if the audience–dancing, singing to the refrain, laughing–is part of the band. After retiring from the Brass Band, Harry’s aim is to promote brass band art which is losing popularity and train more and more people in the art and also conduct Brass Band training in schools. Harry has also worked with more than 20 music groups and has provided musical training in Saanidhya Special School, Shakthinagar, Mangaluru and St Agnes School Institution, Bendore, Mangaluru. Popularly known as “Harry”, a resident of Bejai, Mangaluru, has served from 1982 as the Brass Band Master in “Harry’s Silver Band” started by his grandfather and has served as trumpet player and singer locally, nationally and in Gulf countries. At the peak of his career, Harry was at the helm of five brass bands, which played a Catholic Wedding & Roce ceremonies, and other joyous occasions, and also at funerals. Apart from being a Third-Generation Master trumpeter, Harry is also multi-talented having written a bunch of poems, around 700 songs, composed over 2500 music tunes in Konkani, Kannada and Tulu languages and has also acted in plays and movies.
