Inspiring and uniting Goans and Goa lovers Worldwide
The Spirit of Goenkarponn is what is needed for India to find its feet!
Goa has been a pristine and heavenly paradise for time immemorial, loved by people from across the world for as long as time has been! It is however, in a very imminent danger of losing it all, considering the level of corruption, sloth, sleaze and the like wanting to lay a death like grip on our beautiful land.
Since the real battle of mind space in Goa is about the Goa of the past, and a Goa of the future (a future which no one seems to have a vision of), we have created a fusion of music through the years, and through various international influences that brings together a Goa that is ready to lead the charge, and truly be a leader Globally, certainly, a leader in India.
To mark this uniqueness of Goa, Goa ForGiving, Ronnie Monsorate, Roque Lazarus, Bardroy Barretto, 36 Goan singers and others have come up with a theme song for Goa. This song represents Goa, and highlights the subtle aspects of Goanness. It brings back a lot of memories, and the same time inspires us to safeguard our Mother Land for our future generations.
“The song is made to unite Goans and Goa lovers Worldwide and the lyrics are designed to do the same. In this very difficult time, when India is witnessing stress within the polity, the idea of Goenkarponn as the unifier, is also one of the aims of this song. Goenkarponn is a soft philosophy which espouses love, brotherhood, peace, and all things good, and all the members of this project led by Goa ForGiving are determined to make this count”, Chairperson of Goa ForGiving, Ms. Shaeen Gomes.
