Konkani Music now available in Canada

V.P. Sinaris & Sons^* have been synonymous with Konkani music for decades.They now want a presence in Canada in order to market their music to N. America and Europe.

Before they can establish a full presence here they want to ascertain the popularity of Konkani music in the West. They know that when Goans visit Goa, they always buy a few CDs to remind them of their stay in Goa. But they also know that many Goans do not visit Goa that frequently and have to rely on their friends and relations to do them the favour of buying some nostalgic music for them.
In the past this music was available in cassette form. These were generally of poor quality and did not last very long.
Today’s music is produced mostly on CDs. All of Sinaris music available in Canada is in CD format.
The limited collection of CDs available for sale in Canada can be viewed at:http://www.demerg.com/sinaris/ 

Each CD is priced at $8.00 (Canadian currency)
They can be purchased by contacting

V. P. Sinari & Sons, today stocks an amazing variety of music cassettes, as well as CD’s and DVD’s in Konkani, English, Marathi and Portuguese. The three outlets here in Goa offer the latest music cassettes by local Goan artistes and reputed names in the arena of Goan music as Remo, Lorna and Hema Sardessai, among others, including the latest National Award   Winning ,1^st Konkani film, “Aleesha”.
