The Bombay – Cantaram connection

A majority of Konkani music produced on analog formats was recorded in the studios of Bombay. As many of the artistes lived in the city, references to local places often found their way into the lyrics. This list is intended to serve as a living document that I will continue to update over time as I discover more such references.
