The album is set to be released in the first week of January 2006, at the fifth anniversary event of daijiworld.com, to be held on a grand scale in Mangalore. "The recording of all the songs has been completed and the editing work is in progress. The Bollywood singers are really thrilled at having rendered their voices for the first time in Konkani. "It is an amazing experience. I do admit there is a big financial risk involved. But it is an innovative project. We have a clear objective. All the sale proceeds from this album will go for establishing a permanent fund to conduct an Konkani annual poetry competition among the high school students of Karnataka," says Melvyn Rodrigues. "We have put a lot of efforts into this project, a lot of hard work is involved in this. We are grateful to the leading Hindi / Kannada singers who have really spared their time to sing for us. This many number of non-Konkani singers have never been involved in any Konkani album so far," says Alwyn Fernandes, music director of 'Dini Dini' music album. The album producers are looking for distributors in the Middle East and other parts of the world. Those who are interested may contact the producers at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 00 971-50-5271175
