Mandd Sobhann

It all began with this experiment called ‘Mandd Sobhann’ – a search for a Konkani identity in Konkani music. Literally, ‘Mandd’ means stage and ‘Sobhann’ means beautiful programme. In short, ‘Mandd Sobhann’ means - beautiful stage. The first Mandd Sobhann experiment unfolded on the lawns of Hotel Woodlands, Mangalore on November 30, 1986. This date is regarded as the day on which Mandd Sobhann - the musical experiment, Mandd Sobhann – was born.
