'''Celestino Santana Francisco Alvares''' (1 August 1920 – 28 February 1999) known by his stage name '''C. Alvares''' was an Indian [[tiatr]]ist, film actor, producer and director from [[Saligao]], [[Goa]].<br />
<br />
Alvares specialised in composing and singing poignant duets on various social issues and for this reason, he was called the "King of Duets". He acted in two of the most memorable [[Konkani]] films, including ''[[Amchem Noxib]]'', ''[[Nirmon]]'', ''Mhoji Ghorkarn'', ''[[Bhuierantlo Munis]]'' and ''Uddta to Buddta''.
