The Goan Overseas Association (GOA) of Victoria celebrated Valentine’s Day with a special get-together in Melbourne on February 18.
Famed Goan singer, Mark Revlon, flew in specially to Melbourne to entertain the guests and his voice and presentation kept everyone enthralled through the night.
Mark Revlon, who has popular original Konkani songs to his credit, dished out these hits to entertain the mix of Goan, Indian and Australian gathering.
The GOA Victoria also felicitated Mark Revlon with well-known Melbourne-based Barrister Vernon Da Gama and Corryne Da Gama hosting a dinner in honour of the Goan celebrity.
In response, Mark Revlon also thanked the Goan community in Victoria for welcoming him and giving him an opportunity to perform in Australia for the very first time.
He was happy to see the gathering comprising Australians and Goans responding and dancing to his Konkani song and music.
Mark also requested young Goan artistes to produce more Konkani music to keep the Konkani language alive.
‘Katch 22’ and DJ Ben ensured that there was no break in music through the night.
