It is sad that well known bands like Santimano band is missed in the list of Band from Goa. Although they were quite old but very famous. I don't understand how it was missed. Similarly our band which is called RINGERS also missed. My team leader of RINGERS was well famous musician who was also a composer and one of the top musician in Goa. We started playing in 1950s for various weddings clubs and Emissora de Goa. My team leader at present is having a top band in Canada because he had settled in Toronto. While in Goa he thought many band musicians and their leaders and surprisingly how our band missed appearing in Goanet. We were playing in most of the famous club in Goa. Also for Cabaret, weddings, Carnival and for parties. Santimano is right and I am not wrong the family used to stay down the Corte de Oiteiro road. I am sure some few bands also not been listed. I remember their names of the band but let them bring to the notice of Goanet. ( Frederick). STEPHEN DIAS

May be the old timers have heard about this famous family band in the mid 60?s??? Best regards, Maria Do Ceu P.O. Box 2246, Dubai, U.A.E. Tel: 00971 4 6085422
