David Remedios - Sound Designer & Composer
UMA has graciously invited me to share some background information about my involvement with
Merrimack Repertory Theatre’s recent production of the play Year Zero, for which I
designed sound and composed original music. A promotional film was made during
rehearsals, directed and produced by filmmaker and musician Johnny Lee. The film
can be viewed on Merrimack Rep’s YouTube page at:
http://youtu.be/ShJQU5Yv3ns?list=PL2rxw7O7MJcKouHipLdsHNpG9oKQjAxlJ.
Charles Towers, Artistic Director of Merrimack Rep in Lowell, MA, looked for a
play that would speak to that city’s large Cambodian-American population. He
found it in Year Zero, by Michael Golamco, which introduces us to first-generation
Cambodian-Americans living in Long Beach, CA in 2003. The play was interesting to Charles because
Lowell is home to the second-largest Cambodian-American population in the US, after Long Beach,
and because the play focuses on the generation after the survivors of the Khmer Rouge.
Since I grew up close to Long Beach, I was interested in the play both because of its setting and
because of my own experience as a first-generation child of Macanese immigrants, though my family’s
history is of course very different than those of the play’s characters. The opportunity to compose
music for the production was also enticing. As it turned out, the company was a mix of first-
generation participants: two Filipino-Americans (Daniel Velasco and Michael Rosete), a US-educated
Chinese-Canadian (Arthur Keng), a Cambodian-American raised in Long Beach (Juliette Hing-Lee,
whose family were Khmer Rouge survivors), and a Vietnamese-American (filmmaker Johnny Lee, who
is also Juliette’s husband).
This was my first experience working with the show’s director, Kyle Fabel, who is also an actor, and
who is a smart and supportive collaborator with his experience on both sides of the proscenium. Since
the play’s characters are young and in search of cultural identity, Kyle and I wanted to develop a
contemporary musical vocabulary with links to the past. The play opens with a beatbox rap performed
by Vuthy, the high-school age protagonist. Inspired by that vocabulary, I experimented with Asian
instruments (gongs, mallet percussion, and plucked- and bowed-strings) as “traditional” elements
against a setting of hip-hop beats and electronic instruments. I shared my initial sketches with Kyle at
first rehearsal, and began introducing more ideas during rehearsals, sometimes composing “on-the-fly.”
I also recorded beatbox sounds by Daniel Velasco, who played Vuthy, and used them as percussive
elements in some of the mixes. Kyle welcomed my ideas, presence and participation in the rehearsal
room, which made for a relaxed and fruitful collaboration. The score was mostly complete by the time
technical rehearsals began, at which time I completed the rest of the soundscape and made adjustments
based on the lengths of the scene transitions. The production ran in Merrimack Rep’s Donahue Theatre
from September 11 to October 5, 2014.
During rehearsals, Johnny Lee introduced himself and described his film project. He asked if he could
film me as I worked, interview me, and use my music in the promo. He proved to be an enthusiastic
while unobtrusive observer as he documented the rehearsal process, and produced a beautiful
promotional film for both the production and for the theatre. I hope you enjoy it.

Remembering Macau During the War By Daniel Gomes
I came across a thesis written by Melania Dawn Cannon in fulfillment of her requirement for her Masters
Degree (History) at the University of British Columbia in 2001. She relied on oral history from ten individuals
who lived in Macau during the second world war. During her interviews she developed a belief that the Resident
Macanese (those who lived in Macau prior to the war) and the Diasporic Macanese (those who sought refuge in
Macau during the war ) had a completely different view point of those war years. She believed that while the
Diasporic Macanese community have much in common culturally with the Resident Macanese, their early life
experiences gave them a different perspective than their cousins in Macau. The ‘Resident Macanese’ reminisce
about the starvation and horrors of the war years whereas the ‘Diasporic Macanese’ she interviewed reminisce
about the parties and shows they put on to entertain themselves. The Diasporic Macanese she interview were
mostly Macanese Canadian immigrants in Vancouver.
Interestingly, her main source from the Resident Macanese point of view, was Fr. Manuel Teixeira, a Portuguese
national who spent his life in Macau, and is a widely-accepted authority on the war years in Macau. He moved
to Macau when he was 10 years old in 1920 and returned to Portugal in 2001. The first anecdote from Fr.
Teixiera’s own memories deal with the influx of refugees to Macau from all over Asia and the death and
starvation that accompanied their stay:
“Well the war. So many came here, so many refugees from Hong Kong, 7.000. From Canton and Shanghai, so
many Portuguese and Macanese who lived there. From China, half a million refugees came. They closed down
all the clubs, the Club Militar to house them, and then when we ran out of space they stayed in the streets. Then,
what happened? They were starving, they had nowhere to stay, so they put themselves on the streets, sitting
down on the streets. They would not move at all, and in the wintertime, as you know winter is very very cold, they
were frozen. Frozen entirely, you know? Well I went out every day and if I want to feed them , impossible. You
could put the bread in their mouths, they would not take it. They could not chew. And they could not move their
lips. And then, as it was very cold, in the morning they were frozen. Then the cars of the municipal council, of
the police, and of the firemen, they went every morning, to collect these bodies in the streets. Many of them were
not dead, and they were frozen. Then they put them in these big boats, two or three boats, from here to be
buried in Taipa, on the shore of Taipa. The black people , were the soldiers from Mozambique. These soldiers
from Mozambique, they were there digging trenches. For them. So when they arrived at the shore, they were
thrown into these trenches, and many of them opened their eyes! So the black soldiers said, Eh! The commander
said that you are dead, you are dead! Finish! And they cut up them. Because you see, from here to Taipa, the sun
would rise and warm them up, and they would revive again. Some, arriving there, they could open their eyes
then. When I wrote my book that, I doubted about that. So I went to the parish priest of Taipa, asking him
whether this was true or not. And he said, “I saw this with my own eyes”.
Below is an observation by the late Nuno Loureiro d’Eça (Diasporic Macanese) who lived in New Zealand after
the war. His memoirs were published in the November-December 1998 issue of the UMA News Bulletin.
The policemen were the most vulnerable to danger and they had to be alert for criminals and the politically
inspired enemies of neutral Macau. There were occasional disturbances at the nightclubs instigated by the
intoxicated and boisterous members of the Imperial Japanese Forces who were “staying” in Macau. An irritant
to all was the continuous demand that the bands played Japanese military tunes. But fortunately, the intrepid
Commandante Cunha and his “boys” resolved the tense and politically sensitive situation before it exploded out
of hand. Poor band leader Andy Hidalgo and Eddy Guzman and their musicians!
Art Carneiro’s venue escaped this predicament; except for Avichi Yvanovich’s penchant for crooning with Art’s
band. Avichi was very good though, rendering with a bass voice Stardust, etc. I know because many times I was
on nightclub duty at the Riviera Hotel. Art’s music deu-me arrepios!

Wartime Macau
The brigade was run quasi-military style with bugle calls for everything! Our duties, apart from fighting fires,
were disaster relief and retrieving bodies after suicides, etc. After a particularly severe typhoon the brigade was
dispatched to assist in recovering cadavers from the floating population. There I witnessed a mind-boggling
scene: hundreds of dead men, children and women were “strewn” in the water near the breakwaters – many
were bloated and decomposing.
Another unpleasant job was having to hose down the concrete floors of the insane asylum cells at Kiang Wu
Hospital. After hosing the debris and human excrement, I would invariably “nick-off” to cheer up our boys and
girls who were sick in another wing of the compound. Young Frank da Luz (Carlos and Dick’s brother) always
had a smile for me in spite of his terminal sickness. Betty Gutierrez (Olga and Aida’s sister) was another I
visited frequently.
As if all that wasn’t enough, we had to contend with the cholera epidemic in summer. I remember Chief Nurse
Senhor Ozorio’s desperation every time I transported by ambulance the victims to São Januário Hospital – some
days as many as 25! So, 25 victims = 25 showers back at the station = the cleanest guy in Macau!! The nature
of the job is yuk and yuk!! – if you know what I mean.
Hobo Joe(Gomes), a policeman, was posted some 150 feet from Clube Melco where a dance party was in
progress. Marco Amante (also a fireman) and his band were making sweet music which wafted out to where
Johnny was standing. He picked me out of the crowd and pleaded with me to change clothes and play policeman
for a little while – he had an unbearable urge to dance! After a lot of arguing I relented and Johnny had his
dances. After changing and resuming his stance he had the pleasure of the patrol officer arriving on his bicycle
to check on him. I think it was David Monteiro. Phew!!
Most of our boys (diasporic Macanese) continued their schooling in S. Luiz Gonzaga and Salesiano (the girls in
Santa Rosa de Lima) during the war years – thus sparing them the ugly and sinister side of life in Macau.
Luis Andrade de Sa wrote: ‘The Boys from Macau (The Portuguese of Hongkong)’ which covered the Second
World War years in depth from the Macanese perspective, This book was subsidized by Instituuto Cultural of
Macau and Fundacao Oriente. This book is well documented and very well written. I was most interested in page
68 to page 121 were he covered The War, The Shamshuipo Camp, Refugees in Macau, and the Health and Welfare of the Refugees. There was a whole section devoted to organization of the clinics by Dr. H. L. Ozorio, Dr. Ribeiro and Dr. L Gosano and Dr. J. W. Barnes.
Dr. Ozorio immediately organize a system of files for all the refugee patients of the clinics. Dr. Ozorio reported
that the health of the refugees in the beginning were reasonable but began deteriorating due to the poor diet, low-
intake of calories and lack of vitamins.
Dr. J.W. Barnes was responsible for the care of the refugees who did not live in the camps. This center was
located at the Customs boat Tung Hui, in Porto Exterior. This helped to reduce the travel time for the other three
doctors who were responsible for the refugees in the camps.
I also recommend Jim Silva’s book “Reminiscences of a Wartime Refugee” which was written from a younger
perspective. I also remember my brother, Jackie recalling some of the stories of the war years in the early 50’s.
Especially those about the nightclub scene of which he was an expert. He told me that the Macanese from both
side of the fence got along very well and many romances bloomed between the two communities.
Most Diasporic Macanese did not take part in the administration of Macau during the war years so they were not
exposed to the horrors that the administrators had to deal with. However, I am sure our parents in the Diasporic
Macanese Community also had to deal with hunger, starvation, malnutrition and spiraling cost inflation which
far outstripped the subsidies from the government.

Portuguese town of Sao Joao da Madeira makes Putonghua lessons compulsory

Five hundred years after the Portuguese became the first Europeans to establish sea trade with China, a
town in the north of Portugal, Sao Joao da Madeira, has made Putonghua compulsory for children aged
eight and nine. The objective is to give youngsters a competitive edge in selling products to China - and
the government, is watching the experiment closely to see if it can be replicated throughout the country.
"Chinese is the key which will open the doors to the world's biggest market," said Dilma Nantes, Sao
Joao da Madeira's city councilor for education. Sao Joao da Madeira (pop. 20,000), the leading city in
Portugal for luxury footwear, wants to get ahead of the curve by training its children from young to
speak Putonghua.
China is known as the factory of the world, and the biggest producer of footwear, making 10 billion
pairs a year, but Portuguese shoemakers are starting to step into the huge Asian market. Chinese with a
taste for luxury are increasingly fond of handmade Portuguese footwear, the world's second most
expensive after Italian shoes.
The children appear to enjoy it. "I would like to see the Great Wall," Eduardo, nine, said. Classmate
Daniela added: "Chinese is not particularly difficult." "They are young and learning fast," their teacher,
Wang Xinliang, said. The idea is for the children to study the language until the end of secondary
school.
China has the potential to become Portugal’s main market one day. The young Putonghua speakers
would be perfect for "sales jobs or managerial posts at factories".

AUREA PEREIRA'S 90TH BIRTHDAY
By Rita Guterres
Amid shouts of "10 more years", applause erupted when Aurea arrived at her surprise birthday party.
On November 7th, 2014, Aurea turned 90 and her nephews and nieces celebrated this momentous
occasion on November 8th with a luncheon at Seafood Harbor Restaurant. The party was hosted by
Aurea's son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Cindy Pereira, and organized by sisters, Thelma
Rodrigues, Alda Gosano and Rita Guterres. Talking and eating and laughing and eating were what we
did at the party and add to this, the food was delicious. Life is more delicious when there is so much
joy and love for one another. This was the time to fill in news of the family's headlines and everyone
was telling each other of what was going on amid much laughter. Cecilia (Pinna) Rosario and Gloria
Rosa-Pereira graced us with their presence.
Aurea's 90 years journey was sprinkled with much joy. Together with her late husband Lionel, they
travelled extensively throughout Europe.
Aurea's kindness and generosity accumulated many friends who are still in touch with her.
We wish Aurea continued good health and happiness for many more years.
ALBERTO DA ROSA (1931-2014)
Eulogy by Armando “Pinky” da Silva
Alberto da Rosa died of stroke on 9.16.2014, age 83, in Chandler, Arizona, leaving behind his Costa
Rica-born wife and two sons, Gerald and Edward and their children. He had been ill earlier.
I have known Al since 1937 when he was adopted by Macau-born Cipriano da Rosa, a widower, who
was chief local accountant of a Belgian bank. He had a daughter Lourdes and needed an adopted son to
pair with her. Lourdes died prematurely of juvenile diabetes in late 1941. Alberto’s family name was da
Luz. His biological family owned a house at Rua de Formosa in Macau.
In 1937 Al lived across my house at Jordan Road, Kowloon. We strung up a tin-can telephone across
the street to talk. When the string is taut voice is transmitted, tinny but audible. Al picked up English
easily and quickly within the year. He attended St. Mary Canossian School. He read vociferously the
primers provided. At home he read comics especially a daily newspaper which featured Prince Valiant.
In later years he claimed to have read every book which featured Perry Mason the sleuth noted for
startling endings. He returned to Macau in 1942 to stay with Cipriano at his family home.
He returned to Hong Kong after The War enrolling at La Salle College where he matriculated in 1949.
China Light and Power immediately hired him to train him as an electrical wiring inspector. At 19 he
had Cantonese-speaking subordinates under him to tackle conditions in a locale going back to the
heyday of the Ching Dynasty, The Walled Town of Ngau Chi Wan. It was the seat of the judicial
magistrate of The Walled Town. His jurisdiction covered all areas south of the Kowloon Hills,
Kowloon peninsula, Hong Kong Island. Revenue came from excise taxes levied on commercial and
trading junks entering Lyemun Pass the entrance to the seaway between Kowloon peninsula and the
UMA News Bulletin Winter Issue Part 2 13 of 28
Eulogy Alberto da Rosa island of Hong Kong. When Kowloon peninsula was leased to the British in the 1860s The Walled
Town was exempt in the provision of the lease. It was considered not Chinese territory but a Ching
Dynasty enclave, to preempt claims by the Nationalist Government of China to ownership. To
underscore this arrangement the Hong Kong Government would not have authority over the Walled
Town. Hong Kong Police would not be allowed into the area.
Post war the roof tops of the original houses of the old town had corrugated metal huts built over them
with complicated lines extracting electrical juice from China Light and Power. The Walled Town was
known for its many superb and inexpensive restaurants and noodle shops and nefariously for gambling
and prostitution in the absence of the Hong Kong Police. Triad Societies took over the town. Many of
the Triad Societies leaders running the place were actually middle age entrepreneurs wishing the best
for the areas under their control as the 14 K Organization, the Red Pole Society and so on.
Alberto’s assignments were to see that faulty electrical lines were removed and refitted with proper
ones. Al always refused all efforts to compensate him. I was with Al on many occasions when we
insisted on paying for our own meals. A prevailing view held in The British Crown Colony was that the
Macanese/Portuguese held probity, honor, and loyalty in high esteem. This view goes back to the early
days of the community at the bairro de Mato de Mouro when The Hong Kong Bank hired them
precisely for these virtues.
Life in the late 1940s and early 1950s (for me at least) was quite endearing. We held many social
parties year round. Al was an accomplished harmonica player and his prized M. Hohner harmonica
would serenade quite a number of ladies at these occasions.
Al never forgot his early years at Jordan Road. He was instrumental for arranging Marcus Sarrazolla,
the late Father Lionel Xavier, the late Roy Remedios, and myself to form a group called Roxa Saresi to
fund our own events and occasions. Roxa Saresi stands for Rosa-Xavier-Sarrazolla-Remedios-Silva. Al
was an accomplished badminton player, a canoeist, and skillful at the Macanese card game of Manilha,
and Bridge.
Al and I were hiking enthusiasts. We were part of a group of determined hikers, Antonio “A.J.” Sousa,
Cyril Sousae, David Medina, Eddie Xavier, and Charlie Ozorio. We ascended the heights of Lantau
Peak, Sunset Peak, Castle Peak, Tai Mo Shan, Lion Head, Kowloon Peak, Man On Shan, and Needle
Hill all high points at Lantau Island and the New Territories.
In the 1960s Alberto left for London to study electrical and mechanical engineering at a polytechnic
institute where he received his diploma. He went to Los Angeles where he successfully courted and
married his Costa Rica-born wife Emelina. They moved on to Miami, then, to New York, then to St.
Joseph, Missouri before finally settling at Chandler, Arizona.
At Chandler he was introduced to air-conditioning. He pursued this endeavor as a mechanical air
conditioning engineer to the end of his career. He headed one of the largest firms of this nature in the
U.S.A. and held several patents to his name. He and Emelina had two sons, Gerald and Edward.
Alberto Rosa lived a fulfilled life.
