The song ‘Gôemkaranchea Mogacho Sant Francis Amcho’ showcases the lyrical artistry of renowned Goan songwriter Pio Agnelo Fernandes, whose creations have profoundly impacted the hearts of Goans around the globe. Pio, celebrated for his poignant works such as Mog Amkam Gôyenchea Sāibacho and Dis Udelo, encapsulates the spirit of devotion to St Francis Xavier in this composition. Pio Agnelo remarked, ‘I believe the words come through me, not from me. It’s God’s grace that allows me to write lyrics that touch people’s souls’. The piece is a harmonious bland of vocalist Mark Revlon, Vaughn Pio on drums, Valiston Francisco on the bass guitar , Devesh Dias on the keyboard and Edgar Warren on the guitar.
The concept for the song was developed by Fr Domnic Carvalho, who drew inspiration from the forthcoming exposition, a significant event that honours St Francis Xavier every decade. Fr Domnic aimed to create a project that not only commemorates the life of the saint but also resonates deeply with the Goan community. By collaborating with leading artists, singers, cinematographers, and composers, Fr Domnic has united the finest Goan talent to pay tribute to Goa’s cherished Gôemcho Sāib.
