Dear Placido, A good target indeed. But at the risk of sounding pessimistic, I suspect it's not going to be easy. In the 1970s, my uncle Gerry picked up a whole lot of these vinyl 45s and 33-1/3rds from Mumbai and Panjim during his frequent Southampton-Goa trips. There were a cultural eye-opener. In those times, the Goan community in Bombay was still thriving, and also culturally well-linked with the recording industry there. If I recall right, I can picture the covers of Lorna, Alfred Rose, Mohd Rafi and others.
The German sound recordist Sigrif Pfeffer <[email protected]>, who developed an intense interest in Konkani music after she accidentally heard the same during an offseason holiday to Goa [http://on.fb.me/rkD9Za] has been working on collating more music she can access. She also got permission to re-record and publish some Goan music specially in an European market. Of course, today these are CDs. If I recall right, she mentioned searching in Chor Bazaar, etc. All India Radio "Panaji" (a misrepresentation of the colonial Pangim, in my view... Ponn'je would be better) has a treasure trove of Goan cultural artifacts. But they can't let it be freely replicated (for obvious copyright reasons) and might be a bit bureaucratic too about how it is disseminated, made public and/or studied.
