| dbo:abstract | This is a list of musical bands from the region of Goa, which is a prominent musical center in South Asia. In music, a musical ensemble or band is a group of musicians that works together to perform music. Goa, which sits on the Arabian Sea in southwest India and is the nation's smallest state, was a territory of Portugal from 1510 to 1961. While its official language is the Konkani language, until 1961, most Goans were educated in Portuguese. Today, many Goans are Catholic, speak Portuguese and have Portuguese names. Between the Portuguese colonization and the 19th century influx of the British and other westerners, Goa was the most westernized area of India. It is where western music took root and most of India's jazz musicians came from Goa. Aparupa Mazumder has written that, in 1934, "Goan musicians formed the Bombay Symphony and in 1947, they formed the Bombay Madrigal Singers Organization". She also notes that Goa has "given birth to famous artists" like Chris Perry, Chic Chocolate and Lorna "though many got their break in Mumbai". Brass bands have also been popular in the region but are now dying out. Following is a list of bands, compiled from various sources, some print and also online, such as the WhatsApp-based Bands in Goa groups which as of September 2020 link around 200+ musicians connected to Goa (en) |
