Francis Rodrigues gave us a good half an hour on Goan music of the last 50
years. It was an unexpected but really interesting take because he holds a
wealth of information and personal knowledge of many of our music icons like
Frank Fernandes, Chris Perry, Lorna, Alfred Rose, Remo and others. The work
done on the transcription of musical pieces for the book he will be
publishing soon on the favourite songs of the Diaspora provides yet another
and (relatively untapped) approach to Goan music. I wish Francis would
comply with my request to post his presentation on the website. We will of
course miss his humming of the tunes, but we will certainly benefit from the
written word.
