When a 17-year old Ronnie Monsorate performed with legendry Goan singers Chris Perry and Lorna Cordeiro, he had no idea that a film on their lives will allow his work to be considered at the Oscars. "At that time, I had worked with Chris and Lorna for a year-and-a-half, playing the piano. The film, Nachom-ia Kumpasar, is based on rumours of their relationship and their musical journey. Chris recorded the songs in the film in the 1960s. The recording was outdated so I had to write them again. The background score is original," shares Monsorate from his home in Santacruz.
