Music Portal
Konkani and Tulu music industry which has a rich history was somewhere lagging behind when the realm of music went Cloud. RADIO daijiworld bridges that digital gap. About 80% of its broadcast content will be dedicated to Konkani and Tulu music.
Apart from expanding the platform for Konkani and Tulu songs, RADIO daijiworld opens to its listeners, a world of vernacular music across generations.
"Earlier, everyone knew that P B Srinivas sang Mog Tuzo Kitlo Ashelo, and Wilfy Rebimbus provided the lyrics. But these days, one may know the song but not the artiste. Here, with the radio, recognition is given to artistes across time," said Arun D'Almeida, the station director of RADIO daijiworld.
Producers and independent artistes can send their songs or albums to radio@daijiworld.com for broadcasting.
The app is available for free download in Google PlayStore and Apple store (search for RADIO daijiworld).
