Day 2: The fever peaks at Goa's food and music fest

Team Café

Herald Group’s Goa Food and Music Festival, a three-day-long festival that is being held at Campal Parade Ground, ends today.

In its second year, the event packed a lot of fire power on its first two days, apart from soulful music and lip smackin’ food . Day two saw a host of performers take to the stage to pick things up from where day one left things off. The response at the end of day one was overwhelming, with many lauding one of the highlights of the festival: a tribute to the great Alfred Rose, presented by Rita Rose with Englebert Rose live! The tribute to Goa’s Melody King, also called The Man with the Golden Voice by the HMV recording company was heart-rending and truly remarkable.

Today, the last day of the event will feature a plethora of acts that include performances by Anselm Fernandes, Frazier, Aleta Gonsalves, Pearl, True Blue, Media Waves, Divya Naik, Vito, A-Unit and Ciloni Da Costa.

The event that begins at 6pm and ends at 10 pm is being organised in keeping with the tag-line ‘Let’s Celebrate’. One must ask, this is Goa, did anyone expect anything else?
