Vibing in cyberspace
The Hindu - 9 April 2000
REMO FERNANDES, the Hindi-English bard from Goa, has been known to sniff
out a new trend at fifty paces. Recently, he provided his musical
interpretation of the joys of Cyberspace that Indians are just
experiencing. His latest single, "Cyber Viber", he says, is "
about the
meeting of two people in cyberspace, exchanging a virtual cup of chai".
"Different people use the Internet in different ways", adds Remo,
"Some
get educated on it, others find entertainment ... or shop on it ... If
they appreciate the power and wonders of Internet, they are all, Cyber
Vibers at heart - a phrase I have coined to describe people who love
vibing in cyberspace".
Remo's song set to his own music and lyrics, begins:
I'm a Cyber Viber
In a virtual sea
I'm a glider rider
On a surfing spree
Mein hun Cyber Viber
Aao, vibe karein
Chalo, ek chai ho jaae
Cyberspace mein.
Mein hun Cyber Viber
Bas, behtaa hun
Surfing mein dubaa
Bas rahtaa hun ....
Appropriately, for a song born in the Cyber Age, Remo's creation,
produced by the Bangalore-based, Fabmart online stores people, can be
downloaded, free in MP3 format from the www.fabmart.com
site, which also
markets thousands of music albums.
