In trying to “find a way” to get a US audience, Tony has merely re enforced ignorance and deprived the Konkan people, especially the people of Goa, a true understanding of their noble history and place in today’s world.

OJ- I hope you check back on this thread to answer this-- I'm genuinely curious as to what you are suggesting actually constitutes the noble history and especially, the "place in today's world" of Konkani and Goan peoples. Certainly the history of the Goan Inquisition isn't the sole essence of the people or the place, but...I guess I don't know what else is. I don't mean this facetiously. I'm a first generation Indian American of Mangalorean Catholic descent (a D'Souza, predictably) with little knowledge of Mangalore/Goa/the Portuguese outside of this fact, and the search for a true understanding of the history of my origins and place in today's world is of particular importance to me. Please oblige (or anyone else)...

Keep it a secret!! This album has been one of my absolute favorites for the past few years, and I love that it's little known. Selfish, I know :) Discovered for me by a non-brown music junkie friend of mine. If I'm not mistaken, many of the tracks involve remixes of music from the classic '80s flick Qurbani, for all the Qurbani-lovers out there.
