This is a list of musical bands from the region of [[Goa]], which is a prominent musical center in [[South Asia]]. In music, a musical ensemble or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;band&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a group of musicians that works together to perform music.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Orquestra Sinfonica de Goa 1952.jpg|thumb|Orquestra Sinfonica de Goa. Founded in 1952.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Goa, which sits on the Arabian Sea in southwest [[India]] and is the nation&amp;#039;s smallest state, was a territory of [[Portugal]] from 1510 to 1961. While its official language is the [[Konkani language]], until 1961, most [[Goans]] were educated in Portuguese. Today, many Goans are Catholic, speak Portuguese and have Portuguese names. Between the Portuguese colonization and the 19th century influx of the British and other westerners, Goa was the most westernized area of India. It is where western music took root and most of India&amp;#039;s jazz musicians came from Goa.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last1=Dorin |first1=Stéphane |title=Swingin&amp;#039; India: The Colonial and Postcolonial Diffusion of Jazz in India, May 2012 |url=https://www.cairn-int.info/revue-l-homme-2012-2-page-169.htm |website=cairn-int.info |publisher=Cairn International Edition |access-date=8 February 2022}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Aparupa Mazumder has written that, in 1934, &amp;quot;[[Goan]] musicians formed the Bombay Symphony and in 1947, they formed the [[Bombay Madrigal Singers]] Organization&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Sakal&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|date=20 June 2020|title=Goa&amp;#039;s evergreen live music culture: A treat to your ears and mind|url=https://www.sakaltimes.com/lifestyle/goa%E2%80%99s-evergreen-live-music-culture-treat-your-ears-and-mind-52029|access-date=21 September 2020|website=www.sakaltimes.com|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She also notes that Goa has &amp;quot;given birth to famous artists&amp;quot; like [[Chris Perry (musician)|Chris Perry]], [[Chic Chocolate]] and [[Lorna Cordeiro|Lorna]] &amp;quot;though many got their break in [[Mumbai]]&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Sakal&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
