Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru

Mangaluru, Nov 13: The first world Konkani Music Mega Convention has successfully completed 11 consecutive days of non-stop singing, crossing the 250-hour milestone. Organisers are now just 50 hours away from setting a new Guinness World Record for marathon singing, which requires a total duration of 12 days, 12 hours and 12 minutes.

The Pamboor team had the honour of performing during the milestone 250th hour. To mark the achievement, office-bearers and members of the Catholic Episcopal City Deanery celebrated outside Town Hall by distributing 'Gariyo', a traditional Konkani delicacy.

The celebrations were led by Louis Pinto, president, Mandd Sobhann, Walter Nandalike, founder, Daijiworld Media, Roy Castelino, Philip Pereira, Cletus Lobo, Stany Alvares and several other prominent community leaders.

Addressing the press, Louis Pinto expressed his excitement over the progress: "It is great to announce the completion of 250 hours, with a total of 3,839 songs sung by 5,946 singers so far. However, we must keep up our momentum until we reach the 300-hour mark. Sunday, November 15, is the final day of the convention, and we are expecting massive participation. Our team is working day and night to ensure the smooth execution of both the convention and the Guinness title attempt."

Organised by Mandd Sobhann, a premier Konkani cultural organisation, the mega convention commemorates the institution's 40th anniversary and is dedicated to the cherished memory of its late founder, Eric Ozario.

The historic marathon is scheduled to conclude with a grand finale on Sunday, November 15, at 5 pm.
