Jack Rebello

Joaquim Lourenço "Jack" Rebello (né Rebelo; born 24 February 1967) is an Indian drummer who works on the Konkani stage. The son of musician and pioneer of khell tiatr, Mastor, he began his career around the same time as his younger brother Luis. A leading drummer of Goa, Rebello spent two decades initially playing for Goan cover bands in Delhi.

Early life Rebello's musical lineage extended further, with his two uncles, Luis Henrique and João Caetano, Rebello's musical trajectory saw a transformative period unfold when Seby and the Wings commenced their performances at Isfahan, the coffee shop situated within The Taj Palace, New Delhi. This professional engagement at the coffee shop not only provided a platform for Rebello to refine his craft but also played a pivotal role in shaping his future musical endeavors. Throughout the week, the band captivated audiences with their performances, reserving Mondays as their designated day off.

On Mondays, they catered to private functions hosted by influential business magnates, further establishing their reputation. Occasionally, affluent business owners would hire them on Sundays, securing special authorizations from the hotel to engage the band's services. Evidently, Seby and the Wings held considerable popularity during the 1980s. The band, led by the band leader Seby Fernandes as the lead vocalist, boasted a lineup consisting of Mario Sequeira on bass and Peter Alfonso on keyboards. Rebello, despite being a newcomer at the time, swiftly earned a prominent position within the ensemble, showcasing his instrumental prowess. Following a successful eight-year tenure with Seby and the Wings, Rebello sought new musical opportunities and transitioned to the Black Slades, another prominent Goan band captivating audiences in Delhi.

Upon his return to Goa, Rebello established his own musical ensemble called Bliss, which remained operational for a span of five years before ceasing its activities. On 10 May 2015, Rebello's brother Luis, died at the age of 44, due to cardiac arrest in Raia, Goa. An affiliation exists between Rebello and Comedian Agostinho, a tiatrist, as they have collaborated in more than 200 performances. During his formative years, Rebello found inspiration in Rocky Gomes from Navelim, then-a leading drummer in Goa.

Rebello has expressed his views on singers who critique musicians openly. He admires Lawry Travasso for his skill in smoothly masking errors during performances. Rebello believes that victors of singing contests should engage in the Konkani music community, helping to enrich the "kantaram" performances crucial to the tiatr heritage. Rebello has raised concerns regarding the lack of recognition and respect accorded to musicians in tiatr productions, despite their extended performances lasting three hours in tight spaces. Beyond his musical interests, Rebello also demonstrates a passion for football.
