Hi Agnelo,
We will be doing a great deal of injustice to Sigrid Pfeffer to say she
produced the CD for commercial gains. Of course I can’t speculate on her
intentions. I can only tell you one thing that no one with some horse
sense would venture into such investment of producing Konkani CD in
Germany and hope to make a profit given the high production costs and
the market value.
Not even our compatriots had the generosity to spend 10€ to purchase the
CD with the old Konkani songs. The CD price was fixed to comply with
German Fair Trade Law.
I would also like to add that Sigrid Pfeffer has spent a lot of her
time, money and efforts researching Konkani music in Goa and Bombay and
did an hour’s Radio program broadcasted by the popular Frankfurt Radio
Station, (Hessischer Rundfunk) giving some degree of popularity to
Konkani music in Germany for the first time. Even if she had succeeded
to make a profit it would cause no grief to anyone. I feel we should
appreciate and give due credit for her work. Many Konkani stalwarts to
include the Tiatr fraternity have supported her endeavor in production
of the CD.
Regards,
Mariano
