Preserving Goan Music

Preserving Goan Music

Mr Valmiki Faleiro writes of the past in one of Goa�s leading English dailies. His writing makes knowledgeable reading for the present day generation. In the last few series he has written of Goans in the fiels of drama. We have missed seeing most of the tiatr stalwarts of the yesteryears. They have excelled with God given talent and left behind a great heritage to make Goa proud. Their contribution to Konkani is immense and unforgettable. Even today, the All India Radio gives two hours of daily coverage to local Konkani artists much to the delight of the Goans. Time ravages everything leaving behind only traces of history. Goan music is a rare heritage, which must be protected and preserved for posterity.
