GOA & ITS MUSIC Jose Pereira & ~licael ~lartins (Continuation from N. 0 144) IV. THE HINDU-MUSLIM TUSSLE The irruption of the Turkish and Afghan invaders into Indian affairs, so disa straYs to the millenary life and culture of the subcontinent, became crucial in Goan history only after the extinction of Yadava and Kadamba rule. Hinduism, prostrate in the north before the Muslim blast, was in the south rallying its forces for last-but-one co_unter-attack (the last being the Maratha ). 3 Its headquarters were Vijayanagara, the City of Victory. ( ') The fire of Indian civilization, slowly smothered in its own ashes from the time of the Guptas, still radiated a cultural brilliance. Though consuming itself out in slow degrees, it twice worked up its dying energy to bright heat -first in Vijayanagara and then under the Mughal Empire- before it finally gave out. The involved perfection of Dravidian architectural forms, the systematization of a dualist logic and metaphysics, the codification of a stric­ ter musical system, the Carnati6, or South Indian ( as opposed to the less i ntellectuaiized Hindustani or North Indian) and a blossoming of devotional literature and song, are some of the achievements that culture owes to the City of Victory. The armies of the Hindu Revival struck triumphantly at the Muslim tyranny in the Deccan; Goa ohce again changed masters. ( 3 :!) During this period, Marathi settled down to peing the sacred language of Goan Hinduism.

In Goa, the Portuguese influence was direct and radical, affecting the population as a whole, at all levels.

  • Goa Art & Culture
    Goa Art & Culture Goa, a former Portuguese territory, for more than 450 years is often described as 'The Rome of the East'. It has over the past decades, become the dream holiday destination, for many a foreign tourist. Goa's rich cultural heritage comprises of dances, folk songs, visual arts, music and folk tales rich in content and variety. Goan are born music lovers, most Goans can pluck at a guitar or pick out a tune on the piano. Music is in the blood of Goans since time immemorial, in almost every family you would find a pianist or a guitarist. Being a part of the culture, music of Goa is a blend of east and west. While the rural areas still stick to the traditional forms of music, the urban areas have shifted to a more modern version. You would get every music from Portuguese to Techno and rave, but what has caught Goa these days is the Goa Trance. Goa Trance is a vibrant and psychedelic dance music that is best enjoyed on the dance drug LSD and is a powerful and kaleidoscopic tapestry of sound. Of late Goa Trance has also made an impact in the international music circles. The music is so much in demand in parties that they are now called the trance parties. The almost forgotten folk dances Dhalo, Fugdi, Corridinho, Mando and performing folk arts (like Khell-Tiatro), Jagar-perani and many others have come out into their own. Indeed the folk music and folk dances have crossed the borders of the state and become popular in the rest of the country during the past 25 years.
