Sorry I forgot to say where we are staying

Baga

MRNOISY,
"Prem Joshua" if they are still gigging when you are out there, oh and try and pick up there album "Shiva Moon" jxk8..........

Ahhhh.... Just decided to listen to 'Darbari NYC' (track1) right now... this one track ALWAYS reminds me of Goa. Pure bliss! The voices... pure chill!

Sorry no Prem Joshua, his last concert in Goa this season was March 2nd . The Hilltop Vagator is known for gigs and Lounge Fly Baga. For information try here http://www.findall-goa.com/
The Kala Academy in Panjim has concerts of Indian music.
x lassi

Thanks for the info

Just to let you know .... I was the drummer for Banco De Gaia ....So live music is a must for me.

I think you will find that apart from bad Goan cover bands, it's very difficult finding good ORIGINAL music in N Goa. There are a few singers (covers songs) which i thought average at best.

Panjim is your best bet. Last year I missed Zakkir Hussein and Jean Luc Ponty.

You will get some music at Ingo market and Mackies (will they still be on?). saw a good Sitar/Tabla dup there last year.

I know there is a small arts centre in Calangute that puts on Indian Classical now and then (Flute/Sitar/Tabla).

If you are buying CDs dont bother with the cheap pirates, there's a great CD shop in Panjim (Sinaris) bought loads of Indian Classical and Electronica, the real Cds for £3.50 each. Some of which you cant get here... Zakkir Hussein Cds that cost £15 + here!

PS I really like Ban De G' nice stuff. Nicely chilled.

Pop along to Mayonne Creekside, on a Sunday night - it's on the Baga River.
They have various singers and groups, and they are usually very good, the place is jumping by 8.30 pm.
Don't bother with the food - it's crap. Eat elsewhere before you arrive.
