------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html -------------------------------------------------------
hi Cornel, Regading the music of Noel Flores, you have not given a link from where it can be downloaded. I just happened to see this mail by chance and realised the error. The website where the Konkani music by Prof Noel Flores can be downloaded from is www.heritagejazz.com under Music and Video/. Thank you for publicising the same on Goanet and i hope Goans worldwide enjoy pure unadulterated unplugged music by the legends such as Flores.
