As a result of 450 years of colonialization by the Portuguese, Goan music has evolved to a form that is quite a bit different from traditional Indian music. This historical amalgamation from the east and west has produced some of India's best artists such as Lata Mangeshkar and Remo Fernandes. While Lata Mangeshkar has brought classical Indian music to the world, Remo suceeded in bringing a uniqe blend of Indo-Western Pop to all of us long before it became "fashionable". Remo now has a page on the web ! Click here to learn about him, and listen to some of his music in REAL AUDIO.

GOACOM is also proud to present an exclusive selection of Goan MIDI files that were composed by Selwyn Pereira who was a member of Remo's band, "The Microwave Papadams". His debut album is due for release in 2001. For more info click here. In the mean time, just click the button below and enjoy classical goan music he has created for us!
