RADIOGOA NETWORK The RadioGoa network is a most praiseworthy undertaking
And there is without doubt, no mistaking That it has played a tremendous role, In achieving its laudable goal Of keeping alive interest in Konkani for which old-timers are aching. One can now listen to our golden oldies in the background, Or listen with ear-phones so that others are not disturbed by the sound. It is a most pleasant way to maintain One's knowledge of some old refrain, And maybe once in a way learn some new song that one had earlier not found. Hats off to Benedict Lobo who initiated this scheme, And turned into reality this cherished dream, That evokes memories of the gentle balmy sea breeze And the rustling of palm fronds of coconut trees, And brings to the eyes of Goans abroad a nostalgic gleam. This is indeed a most welcome marriage of Goan psychology And the innovative use of modern technology. Now others must seek fresh avenues Whereby we can likewise use The Internet to maintain and spread Goa's cultural anthropology. - Shanti Dhoot Re: Message: 9 of 19 Jun 2008 Subject: [Goanet] 'RadioGoa' a gift to Konkani music lovers PTI June 18, 2008 PANAJI: RadioGoa, a unique venture by Dubai-based NRI Goan, has helped Konkani music transcend its traditional boundaries and be available worldwide. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1171938
