Goa - Jacinta Video Aug 2010

Lyrics and Music by Jacinta Luis, Jacinta luis Piano & Vocals" "Carlos Jimenez:Guitar" "Al McLean: Saxophone" "Wali Muhammad: Drums" "Stephane Crete: Bass"
Please check out my music video celebrating World Goa Day 2010. I'm very happy & proud to be asked by Rene Barreto to compose a song for World Goa Day 2010. It was fun and also a challenge to write and sing lyrics in Konkani! My grandparents left Goa a long time ago and both my parents & all my siblings were born in Tanzania, East Africa, so I was brought up in English. Composing this song, "Goa" has offered me the opportunity to explore & to learn more about this beautiful language -- Konkani.

I've had the pleasure of performing songs in Konkani on several occasions in Canada. I performed as a soloist in Konkani for the International Goan Convention at Roy Thompson Hall, Toronto in 1988, Viva Goa, 1998, Toronto, Toronto Hilton Concert, 1998, and at my concert at the Al Green Theatre, Toronto on May 8, 2010. I also had the privilege of performing on July 1, 2010 for the Canada Day celebrations in downtown Montreal, Phillips Square, representing the QGA. I will be recording a Konkani song on my next album which will be available in the near future.

Je m’appelle Eduardo et suis Goanais. Je vie depuis 30 ans en Allemagne, j’avais presque oublié le Konkani mais quand je vous ai entendu chanter je me suis rappeler des tous ces mots que se cacher dans l’intérieur de mon cerveaux. Vous êtes simplement SUPER !!!

There was this exotic flower in our garden..

it spoke to us, it sang to us

in a language we did not understand but we understood

more than just the words....
