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:
“As I went forth early on a still and frosty morning, the trees looked like airy creatures of darkness caught napping; on this side huddled together, with their gray hairs streaming, in a secluded valley which the sun had not penetrated; on that, hurrying off in Indian file along some watercourse, while the shrubs and grasses, like elves and fairies of the night, sought to hide their diminished heads in the snow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
