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:
“The Indian remarked as before, “Must have hard wood to cook moose-meat,” as if that were a maxim, and proceeded to get it. My companion cooked some in California fashion, winding a long string of the meat round a stick and slowly turning it in his hand before the fire. It was very good. But the Indian, not approving of the mode, or because he was not allowed to cook it his own way, would not taste it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
