Caro amigo Sr Rego,
Thanks for you email. Actually, I am based in London and I do visit Portugal on average once a year. I used to live in Lisbon once upon a time.
I did mention Gavana as it was mispelt as 'Davana' by Mr da Cunha's email sent to you. I wasn't aware of the initial thread of conversation between you two.
Lata Mangueskar is a daughter of Goa, but I am not too sure if she is very keen in performing in Goa or for Goans. She was hurt in her past by Goans (mostly politicians, bureaucrats) and ever since she turned her back on Goa. Not sure how many of you are aware of this.
Votos de um bom fim de semana.

>Dear Joćo Paulo,
>Yes, I did refer to Gavana. which did perform in Portugal,but as group and NOT as sole singer like LORNA
>I dont know about REMO.Perhaps he DID perform,
>A certainly agree with you, that LORNA is a great performer. So the iniciative of Casa de Goa was worth,was great.
>If I am right,you are one of the new members of the CASA DE GOA. under the presidenship of DR.NARANA COISORRO.I have suggested to him to invite another GREAT GOAN SINGER., Lata Mangeshkar. You must have received that letter, and I hope that you will support my suggestions.

>I recall, whilst living in Portugal in the 70/80's, we had a good family friend in Alcantra/Alges area, the late Mr Quintino da Cunha who had a watch repair shop. Whenever we used to drop by his establishment, there was usually Lorna on the PA system with all her hits - it did add a certain Goan feeling to the shop. He was a great fan of hers - like thousands of Goans worldwide.
