Christopher aimed to set this production apart and appeal to a wider audience. He collaborated with music experts like Stephen D’Souza, who produced the Konkani music album ‘Sangas’, and Prinson Machado, an up-and-coming composer and musician.

Veigas (View Series), and Naveen Mendonca (Bahrain Konkans). He proudly acknowledges his significant contribution to Bahraini Konkani music in recent years.
