Thank you Prof Adolfo. This is so helpful of you. The history of the Goans in Dar should not be overlooked or forgotten. Any pointers you and our other friends could offer would be most helpful.
I happen to know Judy Luis-Watson quite well. We met through Goanet (I think). Then, she wrote a few articles. Ultimately, she even did a book on the Jazz musicians of Dar, which we published -- in Goa -- as *Waiting for the Sunrise: The Goan Jazz Musicians of Dar es Salaam*. Btw, we would like to invite anyone interested to join a Blues group recently set up by fans of that genre in Bardez. Check https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6v2w7nhQ3iGfksJ6zPwHl (it's a WhatsApp group).
