Vency Lobo Just Loves to Entertain, Mumbai – Indiaby Harley Jones |
 If you walk past Band Stand in Bandra Salman Ansari dna after 8pm, you may hear the faint sound of an accordion against the sea breeze. Standing opposite actor Shah Rukh Khan's house, Vency Lobo has been playing the instrument nightly from 8pm to midnight, for the last six months. Born and brought up in Mumbai, 57-year-old Lobo said he had been living in Goa for 23 years and recently relocated.Working as a senior auditor in the defence accounts department during the day, the nights are reserved for his red accordion. "I play it while going to work in the train from Bandra to Churchgate, and also on my way back," said Lobo. Lobo added that he plays waltzes, tangos, and other popular music besides hymns and Christmas carols. On being asked if SRK's popularity has got anything to do with him getting public attention, he said: "He's human, just like anyone else, but it is possible that people who have come to see him may drop in to listen to me." |
