GOA, a small region on India’s west coast sandwiched between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, has rich cultural traditions. Maritime trade contacts and Portuguese colonial rule helped fuse and blend cosmopolitan cultural elements in Goan society giving rise to unique ethnographic and musical traditions creating an unusual amalgam of East and West, a simple folk and modern Indian cultural ethos.
