Dear Marcos, Actually my query wasn't restricted to Goa alone. >From this link >[http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01308.html] it becomes clear that someone like Sigrid Pfeffer has travelled the continents, following her love affair with the Goan cantaram.
I'm sure she would find some way of accessing music, whichever continent it's on, and returning the original. Frankly, if a few modest networking initiatives like these can help preserve the music we grew up with, it would be worth the effort! FN PS: Sigrid is a professional sound recordist, working at a German radio station, and I'm sure she would find the equipment to play whatever records -- 78, 45 or 33-1/3. I still remember those days! My dad bought a Tricity Chetana assembled-in-Goa three-in-one for a whopping Rs 500 (or 1500, can't recall which) in the mid-1970s. It had valves that needed to be heated before it could be switched on!
