A Joyous Festive Season and Wonderful 2010, filled with the joy of Konkani music and song, from the the publishers of the "Greatest Konkani Song Hits, Vol. 1", to the thousands of its fans and followers who purchased our work this year.
We were lucky to be swamped by orders from around the world - mainly the U.S., U.K. and Australia - though we fulfilled requests from outposts as far -flung as Japan, Belgium, Korea, Dubai, Portugal, Canada, Bahrain, Dubai, etc.and many from Brazil! What surprised us the most though were the orders in India - amongst the filmi-geet folks - from Bangalore, Calcutta, Mumbai - but mostly...Delhi! Goa itself though, continues to rank No. 1, and we have had to replenish stock often on a weekly basis. Konkani music is obviously alive, well and...kicking! Many reviews and testimonials of the SongBook are up on Facebook, but many more are queued to be posted: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=119017685910 >From the fanmail, we gather a rather large percentage of buyers of the SongBook have been Goanet readers!!! Thanks folks! If you're in Goa for X'mas/Goanetters meet, fresh stock is now available in Panjim at the Pedro Fernandes Music Store, near the GPO (opp. Rio Bar), and at the Furtados Music Shop, opp. Monginis. As a Christmas gift, it has brought untold joy to many. To the hordes of you who've written in enquiring of Vol. 2 - yes, it's in the works, and the pianist is being filmed this time around a la Clayderman - but it's a busy schedule and we hope to release it soon. To the even-bigger number enquiring of the The Greatest Bollywood Song Hits - this might take a little while longer, due to the smoothening out of copyright issues, which is almost done - Music Sales, Inc., have made an offer free of this hassle, but financially rather more favourable to them. We're working to sort this out!:-) May the beauty of Konkani music light up your world....
