'Sunjao' Today (24th June)
My Mom used to buy at least 6 Pineapples and 6 bottles of madam fenni. Upto 6 groups of Sunjao from neigbouring villages or wards used to visit the wells in our area. Each group was given a bottle of fenni, and 1 pineapple which I, as a child, used to throw into the well. I remember the popular song..with live brass band (trumpet, Saxaphone, Clarinet, Drum & rengteng (side drum)etc. Traditional: "yo re Sunjao, yo re badea Panni bhogoya (repeat) Re sunjao gunvta teso gunvta Voir soronk bhatli magota" (repeat) Note: there was another newer version of the song by C Alvares? and party. Played on AIR. "Tum ido ghe re, tum ido ghe Faleam kaim mevona, Oslem fugsanv kiteak orsak don pautti eina" == Sao Joao = sunjao = St. John Missing Goa Very badly... Goemkara, Where ever you are... Wishing you Happy 'Sao Joao' But pl. dont (drink &) jump into the well [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For info on Konkani VCDs (Films, Tiatr, Comedies and films on GOA...) http://konkani-vcd.swiki.net/1 ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?
