Some sweet sounds to usher in the programme, courtesy the Maravilhas de Margao. This is a group of four young college students who got together to voice Portuguese and other rhythms out of the region sometimes called the 'Athens of Goa'. Listen to Jeanette Barbosa Noronha, Shannon Lobo and Ashlesha de Noronha (all students of Chowgule College) and Marise Barbosa Noronha (from St. Xavier's College). Mercy de Noronha accompanies them on the keyboard. Tune in to Passear Contigo (a hit of the 1980s from Broa de Mel); Amazing Grace (the hymn whose roots probably go back to 1779); Bairro Alto and Portugal Ai Que Saudade, the 1993 work by singer Emanuel [till 11:54].
