I am not aware of any license or copyright to forward konkani mp3s
on the net. But there are some websites which allow free download
of konkani mp3 oldies...I repeat oldies, as these are not available
in the market.
I have forwarded a few mp3 oldies only to promote konkani music
as there are many Goans worldwide who long to hear old konkani
songs. Am sure those who received the songs, will definately
buy more konkani music when they touch down India.
As for sharing on the net, first of all Konkani music is not
easily available in the market (Goa/Mumbai). Even if its available
the quality of CD's or cassettes is not up to the mark.
Last Dec when I checked with Sinari in Margao, he did not have
enough konkani music with him, but the gaddo opp the old wholesale
fish market had quite a lot. The same also in Mumbai,
one can get the latest on the foothpath at Mahim Church
on Wednesdays.
It is also very difficult to get old konkani songs by Alfred Rose
or Lorna, what is now available is the remix of oldies, masalas
or old songs sung by new artists. These oldies are not available on
CD, but only cassettes or records, which has to be converted
to CD/MP3 with available software on the net.
Very few of the latest music sets have cassette decks,
but mostly its a DVD/CD/MP3/WMA etc.
We are yet to hear Konkani Karaoke music.
A friend of mine just sent me this link for online konkani music.
