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:
“But we, in anchor-watches calm,
The Indian Psyche’s languor won,
And, musing, breathed primeval balm
From Edens ere yet over-run;
Marvelling mild if mortal twice,
Here and hereafter, touch a Paradise.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
