Mangaluru, Jul 30, 2015: ICYM city deanery is all set to present ‘The Glorious Show’ on Sunday August 2 at Cordel church hall, Kulshekar here at 5.30 pm. The show has been organized with the noble cause of helping children affected with Aids.

The show will also mark the 20th anniversary of Glorious band. On the same occasion, ‘Manasa’, a Konkani telefilm will be released. The film has been written and produced by Maxim Pereira and directed by Clarence Pinto Padil.

Glorious Band

Glorious band was started by youth icon Maxim Pereira twenty years ago. He took Konkani music to his heart and nurtured the band overcoming several hiccups. He achieved his success step by step.

Today the 'Glorious' band is a renowned name in Mangaluru. Be it a wedding, anniversary or any grand occasion - Glorious is ever ready to entertain the crowd.

Maxim who started from Angelore parish choir went on to win first place for three consecutive years in the Kalasampath inter-parish singing competition. He has judged several singing competitions and he also trains young budding singers and prepares them for various competitions.

"Youth is the right time for your achievements when you can realize all your dreams. Keep a do-or-die approach, be focused and you can achieve your goals. Try repeatedly before your youth fades away, and you will definitely succeed," tells Maxim to young singers.

Maxim received the honour of ‘Yuva Pratibha’ at Konkani Darbar in 2002. He was also awarded the title ‘Melody Star’ by Pearls of Mangaluru, a Konkani speaking association in Abu Dhabi in 2011.

Maxim has 13 music albums to his credit. Ten Maxim musical nites and over 50 stage shows have been staged by Maxim in Mangaluru, UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain. He has also performed for Doordarshan and Chandana television channels.

Possessing an inborn flair for music, he can also play various musical instruments, like guitar, keyboard and drums. He has composed and tuned more than 150 songs in Konkani and a few songs in Tulu as well.

The entry for the music show is free.
