Goa, a part of India since 1961, had been ruled since the 16th century by Portugal, and has thus had historically 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. Goa has produced some of the finest performers of Hindustani classical music, such as the eminent vocalist Surashri Kesarbai Kerkar (1892-1977). Lata Mangeshkar, the most famous singer in the history of the Indian film industry, is the daughter of a Goan, Dinanath Ganesh Mangeshkar, as is her sister Asha Bhosle. In the area of Western music there are several pop stars, among them Remo Fernandes (b. 1953). Goan popular music is generally sung in the Konkani language.

Goan mando
Goan mando

Traditional Goan music includes religious music, theatrical music, art music, dance music and songs used to mark special occasions and events like marriage. The most widespread kind of folk music in Goa was the mando, (also written as manddo) a kind of dance music that evolved out of wedding music, specifically the Ovi. Mando is meant for dancing, and, in contrast to the Ovi, uses a chorus. It probably evolved after the 1830s, when ballroom dance was introduced to the area.
