Caro Henrique, Of course Nelly Furtado has nothing to do with Goa but I am afraid you are wrong about Antonio Costa.
Antonio Costa (number 2 of the current Portuguese Government) is indeed the son of Orlando da Costa, famous Goan writer born in Lourenco Marques but of 100% Goan origin. His family is still in Goa. I am not sure from where Antonio Costa's mother is (possibly Cabo Verde) but his father Orlando da Costa was definitely a Goan (passed away few months back) and a famous Portuguese writer. I take the liberty of posting some references that I am sure you will appreciate: http://www.supergoa.com/pt/read/news_cronica.asp?c_news=527 (Portuguese) http://www.supergoa.com/pt/read/news_noticia.asp?c_news=524 (Portuguese) http://www.goanet.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=391 (English) http://lportuguesa.malha.net/content/view/66/1/ (Portuguese) Com os melhores cumprimentos, Paulo Colaco Dias. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Henrique Salles da Fonseca > Sent: 24 May 2006 09:00 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Goanet] VICE PRIME MINISTER COSTA > > Mr. Nunes Besugão: > > Minister António Costa was born in Portugal with cape verde's parents. > As Nelly Furtado, he has nothing to see with Goa. > > Regards, > > Henrique Salles da Fonseca - Lisbon _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
