GOA Literature, Arts, Music, Festivals & Events: https://www.facebook.com/GLAM.GOALiteratureArtsMusicFestiva… <https://www.facebook.com/GLAM.GOALiteratureArtsMusicFestivalsEvents?ref=ts&fref=ts> The aim: To continue working alongside other like-minded individuals and organizations, promoting Goan ‘soft power’ , preserving our diverse legacy whilst facilitating new cultural initiatives , products and narratives , following on from our wealthy eco-heritage-cultural capital. Last year we hosted 'Chats with Goan Authors' sessions where visitors had a rare opportunity to meet UK based writers such as Selma Carvalho ( Into The Diaspora Wilderness‘, ‘A Railway Runs Through It’ and Mervyn Maciel ( ‘From Mzee to Mtoto : Story of My Life’s Safari’ , ‘Bwana Karani’ ) This time around in addition to a range of popular books on Goan cuisine, Konkani language primers, art, novels, sociology etc. we are 'test driving' a session or two on... The basics of 'Amchi bas'/ KONKANI aimed mainly at locally raised, younger generations of Goan heritage , but really anyone who wishes to learn a few words or simply brush up and/or perhaps learn a new word or two for starters. TIME SLOTS Informal 20 minute long 'drop-in' sessions on the basics of spoken Konkani, with our gracious volunteer facilitators Maria Goretti Fernandes , Gemma Fernandes and Louis Gomes are at 2, 3 and 4pm NB: Facilitators give up precious quality time to do this, when they could be enjoying themselves on this rare annual occasion with friends and family ;when we all come together under the broad 'umbrella' ('sotri') of the GOA UK. So if you do plan to attend, we so look forward to meeting you; However, please try to be on time .Thank you/Dev borem korun. Mog asundi Miscellaneous Special Product Information MUSIC Bab Vince Costa of Curtorim, has generously made his brilliant 2015 debut 'SAINT & SINNER’ available for sale @ the super bargain special introductory rate of £ 3.00.only Limited quantity to hand so when they are gone ;they are gone ! *(CDs locally normally range from £10 and up) ("Saint and Sinner" started out as a single and evolved over a 4 year period into the album it is today. Supported by some of the most talented Goan musicians, it was recorded very organically and produced there by Vince Costa It consists of 10 songs that address common themes in life. Its music weaves through these themes using interesting arrangements, meaningful lyrics and soulful performances to produce a texture that is warm, honest and unique. (M Music Magazine, U.S, in its review has said that the world needs more troubadours like Vince Costa. Influences from Country, Blues, Rock and Roll and Americana come together and sit well in this debut offering from Vince Costa.) http://www.vincecosta.in/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vincecosta.in%2F&h=JAQE-uzVMAQEFvyGrqg6s73gybigyFvNoMsnWjIzzda7p0g&enc=AZPCEBePDJ7Vvgi0Pipx9gqqxi3h35aEu3RnIUG6GbczU3-lWwi0lVpoaF4wAWQ3VIcpiHKa2i_wsaqzBGtQPMwzosifa-OnU_LycXRdR4KvBvtyns9tt_WeZs3axceIGqtpM3Ltn63SNz117ajY3rAnmgdjntFdmVYfexwte8Lcpw&s=1> ART The prolific creative, Bab Joseph C.Dias of Utorda, Salcete, is an architect currently based in Dubai His other passions are art and literature etc. (Author of the acclaimed novel 'Dona Paula ‘) In stock a limited number of comfortably priced sets (ten to a pack) of his signature sepia tinted Goa themed postcards http://goa1556.in/book/goa-in-sepia-tinted-postcards/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgoa1556.in%2Fbook%2Fgoa-in-sepia-tinted-postcards%2F&h=LAQGqKPH1AQHu7hu5yIIHEqEWvz8vbj5nU5Ca9m1ovKg9_w&enc=AZMM009-eg6CZ1hmov6dAIGBwPHRymXlGueQ9S_yBKYUs3_Iyvt-NZcyhcli2NYsLlzM_zw_zcvg2jRJwPdOkvJ6Jx2TCVlHYWEebOLl1JPplf0shX4w6uJuzin5lGHFrkf7X0LRLaMUzBB8vBdzE6esFJG5zep3GgbBTYJxvP-zHA&s=1> JoDi’s Art https://www.facebook.com/jodias.art?fref=photo&sk=photos ‘Dev borem korun tumkan sogleannk’ Thank you as always for your generous support *Part proceeds from sales of CD’s and post cards etc. will be earmarked for The Goan Welfare Society (GWS) (Founded in March 1983 to provide limited assistance to Goans living in the UK)etc. http://www.goauk.com/blog/the-goan-welfare-society/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goauk.com%2Fblog%2Fthe-goan-welfare-society%2F&h=-AQFDOe47AQEfrKhVarWMRQXrEqqtmydOcrx4hBLB1X0Mmw&enc=AZM9obLV8eFru3_9qdq8q-9duI5xV657fwSwTsDOGX_PT_5-yLyOKmAPUFktxBetUdSVGVEJv14kUxWZhyd9mV0GdX_IX2n6u-72hKtn691nEfeSvaMV9bw6QOyWtbCRBWCYIr55feBFgEMXuFsZ3At8xvi_YSTYU7Ug-ek027DdXQ&s=1> ENJOY THE GOA UK, Goa Festival London 2015 (without which, we would be much the poorer, as a community in the UK) Contacts: G.L.A.M. /A.Anthony FERNANDES (M) 079-0432-3198 (E) [email protected] ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We are also hugely appreciative of the support, alongside many others , provided by the Goan publishing house GOA 1556 http://goa1556.in/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgoa1556.in%2F&h=SAQFdNrmeAQHOF2BfMrpLiz1ev1Efcl8X5Vz7R6t1fRy2RA&enc=AZNrCZAKusUYXxUyaDLrM3FIkBqCLGne3Ff_5gGPDjZloJDShOdSmeT_3UC5u4Pyru92VzvaeGz2lAPKE6EyJW55nJtA8eYhhDOdmVS82uqpAWwBxHyQIURf4jvfV5is-vcIdo-HZEEQ8i6Fnofvem66TzwQtUZo_MqZj6pu4Atnkw&s=1> The crack team @ The Goan Association UK http://www.goauk.com/blog/ <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goauk.com%2Fblog%2F&h=xAQFBMDxkAQG7wWClhE5S_xyx0eMnRuUwaKj4ZCbGes446Q&enc=AZOnv4VX78pUkO-3VuJdljvv8tIpYzdWzP2I0UTCSiVkTnTAwk8P7RrEFoOz0mwvwTRYlkuI3GRKQBZrKSCe3WoF1GUfJ3sXk7ItFy8Y3vzs0xLUoLnAqj3pNA11eaY73owaQL382qkIpur-zcO-hZK6WuYNeTBtNqWyG2xhXEfMFQ&s=1> The Goan global company Sharp Shooters International with Geraldine Menezes https://www.facebook.com/SharpShootersInternational… <https://www.facebook.com/SharpShootersInternational?ref=ts&fref=ts> The British writer Jenny Mallin ;who traces the lives of her ancestors, who lived across India, through a recipe book that has been passed down five generations ‘A Grandmothers Legacy’ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php… <https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1446472055655749&ref=ts&fref=ts> The Saligao Goa based artist Clarice Vaz whose latest exhibition ‘Awakening To The Cosmos Within’ runs at the Gallery Gitanjali in Panjim, Goa. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Clarice-Vaz-Art/290193624512596 https://www.facebook.com/GalleryGitanjaliGoa?ref=ts&fref=ts
