Over the past few months Goa has witnessed several ‘fests’ being organized in the State. The festivals had to do with Goan drinks, fruits, etc. There was the ‘Pururmentachem Fest”, “Millet Festival”, "Mango Festival” among other festivals.
However Goa is also well known across the globe for its music and talented musicians as well as singers of yesteryears. Many of these musicians and singers of the past have given a lot of joy to Goans through their music.
It is probably time to get these talented musicians and singers to perform on one stage by organizing a ‘Musical Fest’. Those musicians and singers that come to mind are Agustinho Da Cruz, Alvaro Pereira, Acacio, Dr Francisco Colaco to name just a few.
They should be given an opportunity to perform on stage in their golden years. It will be a feast for the ears especially for the senior citizens in the state.
The organizers of the various festivals which were held in the recent past could put together such a musical festival which will undoubtedly be a big hit and the golden oldies will revive past memories.
