Its time again for some Goan tango!
Goans in Melbourne are set to celebrate their sixth annual World Goa Day with family and friends on Saturday 23 August 2008.
In order to accomodate the larger numbers attending this year, the gala event will be held at the Springvale City Hall in Springvale. And for the "young ones" - belt up for some youthful entertainment in the annexe hall with "A. Pros' Light & Sound" - a Professional DJ.
And for the "young-at-heart", the occasion will be celebrated at two venues! Away from the booming music for the young, the main hall will lilt with "Joe and his Soul Mates".
The annual celebrations commemorate the recognition of Konkani as their 'mai bhas' with this year's celebrations especially themed as "Proud villages of Goa".
The past World Goa Day events have proven to be the medium for old friends and new Goan arrivals in Melbourne to come together, a showcase of Goan culture and a night to soak up Goan hospitality, enjoy the mouthwatering Goan cuisine and tango to some Goan music.
This year promises to be even better with 2 settings and for the first time in Melbourne ever - their very own Goan Elvis Presley Floor show!
Of course the live band will, as usual, include a large repertoire of music and attendees will be regaled with a little of Goan music too.
Enquiries about the evening can be made with Oscar Lobo on 03 9563 9918 or 0404 848 345.
