Yes, the song had a very lively and earthy beat and cadence to it. In my many years living in the heart of an East Indian Bombay suburb I did not come across as much of their culture as they seem to be celebrating now. I am glad if it indicates a resurgence in the pride of their music and dance. After all they have lost their lands. A foreshadow surely of the coming Goan experience.
