Last week, my friend took me to Morjim beach, a very long and wide beach where fishermen repair their nets, tourists practise kite surfing, Indians play cricket...




I was then introduced to Bahramji who were giving a concert in the evening. Bahramji plays the Persian Santoor (a traditional string instrument, which is said to create the sound of emptiness), the Persian Settar and the Ney, a Persian bamboo flute. His son, Bashir plays tombacks and together they play ancient Persian melodies.



Listen to Bahramji:

Welcome to Goa, India

Welcome to Goa!

After a trip of 24 hours and three flights, here I am in Goa.

Goa is the Indian riviera, it has extremely beautiful beaches, guesthouses everywhere, markets and shops, and many restaurants. There are many tourists here; Indians taking a break, Europeans, Russians, Israelis...

Goa is India's smallest state.

It was Portuguese until 1961!
