Oliver Sean to enthrall audiences at the Candle Light rally on World Earth Day

Panaji, April 21: On the occasion of World Earth Day, celebrated worldwide on April 22, Big 92.7 FM will be addressing key issues concerning the environment while increasing awareness on matters of global concern such as fuel conservation, water conservation, global warming, etc.

In an effort to increase awareness, Big 92.7 FM will hold a massive signature campaign across the state over the next three days, says a press note issued here. In addition a candlelight rally will be held on the evening of April 22 to coincide with World Earth Day, starting from Kala Academy and winding it’s way to the municipal garden in Panjim.

After the rally, Goa's ace music artist Oliver Sean will enthrall audiences with a special unplugged performance at the Panjim municipal garden.

Global Warming is a serious concern today. Spreading awareness about the ill effects of global warming and finding ways to reduce its effects is the only solution to this growing concern.

Big 92.7 FM is spearheading this cause with the signature campaign where people will be educated about various ways in which they can help reduce the constant damage being done to the environment. People will be encouraged to pledge their support through this campaign, which will then be presented to the Government of Goa.

Commenting on this initiative, Ms Manisha Tripathi, station head, Big 92.7 FM, Goa, said, “We’re proud to partner with the Department of Science, Technology and Environment and Goa Energy Development Agency, on this initiative.”

W.O.A International Breaks New Ground for International Independent Music in India with the W.O.A Records India Tour 2008

Goa, India – April 7, 2008 – There have been large tours before, but few can come close to the scale and ambition of the W.O.A International India Tour 2008. Bringing together 10 international artists from the 15th to the 30th of April 2008 to various cities across India, this is the start of the independent music revolution in this part of the world.

“It’s one of the most ambitious tours we’ve organized,” says Wanda Alvares, Executive Vice President and Marketing Director “From co-ordinating the schedule and the travelling and hotel requirements to actually getting the venues to support all these great acts, it’s a lot of work. But it’s worth it.” The media interest in the event, not to mention the artists appearing on the tour, are testament to this hard work.

The artists include respected worldwide acts like world music star Oliver Sean, American star Xiren, Japanese Rocker Sparky Quano and Six other bands and artists from Australia, New Zealand, Spain & US, playing everything from electronica to rock, there’s something for everyone’s taste.

The media certainly agrees, with support from Major Networks, Publications and Radio. This support will see the artists conduct a special 5-day press and media meet and video shoot during the tour, allowing both sides to share in this special event.

W.O.A International will also be producing a compilation CD comprising of every artist on the tour and a Rockumentary. The Rockumentary is expected to garner immense support and interest as it will show International artists from various countries touring India together and performing at world class events – a true Independent music revolution in India caught on tape.

With an even bigger, better and most of all louder tour planned for 2009, the W.O.A International Tour of India is just the first in a planned annual event. Make sure you catch it while you can.

W.O.A Records releases their highly anticipated Album- Goa Chillout Zone Vol. 1 Compilation CD


Goa Chillout Zone Vol. 1 CD Launch Brings Together Best of Independent Music and Animal Rights Charities

W.O.A International releases compilation CD, percentage of sales go towards fight against the fur trade

Goa, India – January 25, 2008 – W.O.A International proudly announces the launch of the first volume in the Goa Chillout Zone CD collection. Comprising of 26 world artists from both the company’s record label W.O.A Records as well as unsigned acts, it’s an eclectic double CD bringing together some of the very best artists in independent music today. Best of all, it’s part of an extremely worthwhile cause at the same time.

“With this release, we’re not only bringing original and exciting music to the public,” says Wanda Alvares, Executive Vice President / Head of Marketing, “we’re also giving back to a cause we believe passionately in. For every CD sold, we will give 10% of the sale to a charity that supports animal welfare, especially animal rights groups that work against the fur trade.”

With the fur trade responsible for the torture and murder of over 50 million animals worldwide every year, purely for the benefit of fashion lovers, it’s a business that’s continuously in the news. W.O.A International recognizes that it’s something that won’t be changed overnight, but passionately believe that continued support in the fight against it will eventually win through.

The Goa Chillout Zone CD Vol. 1 is the first release in a planned five-volume collection. Bringing together the best that W.O.A International has to offer as well as unsigned independent artists worldwide, it includes the likes of Oliver Sean, Tiger Tiger and Cuca Moreno from W.O.A Records, as well as unsigned acts like Amy Duncan, Juliet Annerino and The Green.

Such has the pre-release interest been in the first volume that W.O.A International is already planning the second one, due for release in October 2008. Artists interested in appearing on Vol.2 are encouraged to submit their songs for submission onto the collection. With 10,000 copies being pressed and distributed to Yahoo Music and iTunes as well as retailers and radio stations worldwide, and top clubs at holiday destinations like Ibiza, Goa, etc, it’s an excellent opportunity for unsigned artists to be heard by large audiences. Each artist selected for the CD will receive royalties and licensing fees, as well as copies for promotion.

With the Goa Chillout Zone CD Vol.1 set to be a huge success for both artists and the chosen charity, and Vol.2 already in the planning stage, 2008 looks set to be a milestone year for W.O.A International. Buy the CD today and find out what all the noise is about.
