Dear all This is to share that Dr. Lourenço de Noronha, one of the key people responsible for creating one of the most important online archives of Goan music, passed away on St. Xavier’s Day. I am sharing with you an obituary written by one of his former students, the African linguist Walter Schicho. The original text is in German, and the translation was prepared with the help of AI.
You can see Dr. Noronha’s work here: https://www.songs-from-goa.at/info22-impressum.html I had the honour of meeting him in Vienna in 2011 and in 2023. Best regards Susana Sardo
