On 26 and 27 January 2008, a Konkani cultural event, "Konkani Nirantari", held in Mangalore by the Mangalorean Catholic organisation "Mandd Sobhann"; entered the Guinness Book of World Records for non-stop singing of Konkani hymns. "Mandd Sobhann" members sang for 40 hours, surpassing the old record of 36 hours held by a Brazilian musical troupe, "Communidade Evangelica Luterana São Paulo" (Lutheran Evangelical Community of São Paulo) of Universidade Luterana do Brasil (Lutheran University of Brazil). The Silver Band, started in 1906 by Lawrence D'Souza in Mangalore, is one of the oldest and most popular brass bands in Mangalore. The well-known Konkani hymn "Riglo Jezu Molliant" (Jesus entered the Garden of Gethsemene) was written by Fr. Joachim Miranda, an 18th-century Goan Catholic priest, when he was held captive by Tipu Sultan on his Canara mission.
