Remo Fernandes, a legendary Indian musician, pioneered rock in India while achieving immense popularity through film songs like AR Rahman’s “Humma Humma.” His unique Goan lilt and raw, freewheeling style broke Hindi film music conventions. After teaching himself guitar and drawing from diverse influences including Konkani folk and The Beatles, Remo became India’s highest-selling English rock artist. With albums like “Pack That Smack,” he truly carved his niche. Recently, the 73-year-old bid farewell to the stage due to health issues, reminding us of his timeless catalogue, joyous contributions, and significant legacy for independent sounds. He leaves the stage larger than he found it.
