The village has also shown a passion for music, "tiatr", "zagor" and "kell" (folk plays). Mestre Lourencinho was a devoted man who gave a lifetime of service to the church and to the parochial school. He enjoyed the distinction of organising and conducting the first village band. Among his many bright boys, Miguel Rod was undoubtedly one of the most accomplished Konkani theatrical playwrights and composers of his time. He distinguished himself on stage as a singer and hundreds of his records were sold on the day they were released. And twenty eight years after his death some of his more memorable hits are still being played on AIR In a crowded lifetime of 33 years, he wrote and produced 32 tiatros, amongst them "Ghorchem Kestanv" which won him his greatest acclaim. Miguel Rod was also a charitable man who once generously contributed the proceeds of his tiatr towards the church restoration.
