Goa: Pearl of the Orient -- A Snapshot of Goa in the 1980s 

Lindas imagens desta minha terra natal, sinto-me orgulhoso de ter nascido em Goa e por ser goes de coração e alma, não há dúvida que a Goa é muita bonita, tem vários monumentos que todos os goeses devem orgulhar desses monumentos muito bonitos que os portugueses deixaram aos goeses e não para os gantis. A Goa é dos goeses e de mais ninguém. Parabéns, Parabéns, Parabéns. Um grande abraço para todos os goeses deste vosso patrício que se encontra em Portugal desde 1962. 👍🏝️🇵🇹🏝️❤️I love GOA 🏝️🏝️👍👍

Nice video capturing the serene atmosphere of bygone Goa - Thanks! From 1988 I lived for a few years in Chandor, I was in my early 20's bright-eyed and bushy-tailed fresh from Canada, with not much more than my fiddle in hand and a smile of wonderment on my face. The most magical times of my life were spent there with the local Goans, learning and trading folk- fiddle tunes and drinking feni till the wee-hours. I almost got married and stayed...but something pulled me back. Forever, beautiful memories❤🎻🌴

Nice video. Beautiful Goa

Exlent.I saw Goa in 1974 . first time. that time goa was so beautiful.

Proud to be Goan

Sad to see Goa not like it used to be

Here are the lyrics: 1st verse: O brilhante e a estrela Com rutilos brilhos seus (repeat) Não si comparam com ela Virgem pura Mãe de Deus (repeat) Chorus: Salve Santa Mãe de Deus Nossa guia e protectura Salve Rainha de ceus Sacratissima Senhora 2nd verse: Cento dez nove anos ja são Que ela e nossa padroeira (repeat) Protége este Saligão Que adora sobremaneira. (repeat) Note: The words in bold are the years since the inauguration of the church, and change every year. Lastly, there may be some typos, but anyone who speaks Portuguese would be able to make the corrections. Regards, Mel

Mel Souza Hi Fred, A friend in Winnipeg just drew my attention to the "Goa in the 1980's" video posted on the internet. You did a fine job in its presentation. Many thanks, Mel

Sundor Sobit Amchem Goeam...

Do see many posts on Goan Inquisitions and conversions . Please do an analysis of the over 5000 year Brahmanical caste domination of India that led to the rise of three Indic religionsand most of India's problems even today . Goa's charm lies in the indelible fact that it is the best of East and West. The rest of India must learn and follow . Viva Goa and Jai India Col Manjit Goa

40 years later a complete hell hole. A documentary now would be not of the landscape, beaches or natural beauty. It would be of raves, clubs, majestic resorts and pollution

Think of the atrocities committed by Portuguese on Hindus. It was genocide which lasted for centuries.

Well written by Fedrick n want to meet you on person

Think of the atrocities committed by the Indian politicians in destroying the beauty of creation given as an heritage to the residence of Goa to display God’s love, joy and holiness upon the goans. Amen ❤❤❤.

Fred, No doubt Mel has a way with photography, one that is appreciated by many. It's too bad he has to temper that attribute with the need to talk your ear off. Get rid of the voice on this video, add some background music and some captions under the photos. p.s. Mel, I hope I haven't offended you too much.

Hello sir

Im portuguese we did not comit genocide in goa, but i wish we had
