Western, Indigenous, Indian
Goa, a part of India since 1961, had been ruled since the 16th century by Portugal, and has thus had closer connections with Western classical and popular music than the rest of India.
Over the centuries, indigenous Goan music was blended with European music, particularly that of Portugal.
The Goa Symphony Orchestra and Goa Philharmonic Choir were founded by Lourdino Barreto.

Famous quotes containing the word indian:
“Every New Englander might easily raise all his own breadstuffs in this land of rye and Indian corn, and not depend on distant and fluctuating markets for them. Yet so far are we from simplicity and independence that, in Concord, fresh and sweet meal is rarely sold in the shops, and hominy and corn in a still coarser form are hardly used by any.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
