Around five years ago after one of the carnivals in Goa, i realised that there were quite a few Konkani carnival songs composed by our Goans but not a single one in English. I decided to take our Goa carnival out to the rest of the world in the world's most widely spoken language that's English.I wrote the lyrics, came up with a catchy tune and got Donna Noronha to sing it. Viva Carnival was launched in 2014 and there was some amazing response to it from people all over the world besides our music loving Goans. This encouraged me to produce a video for it with some actual footage from past carnival parades in Goa. Judging form the online response, I think the tourism department owes me one for taking the Goan carnival out to the rest of the world.Colin D'Cruz
