Abstract: | Established in 1946, Emissora de Goa played a pivotal role in fostering a cosmopolitan musical culture in Goa. Although primarily a Portuguese-language radio station, it aired programs in eight languages, including English and various Indian languages associated with Western and Indian classical music, respectively. Its diverse non-Indian music offerings showcased a broad repertoire, featuring not just Portuguese compositions but also selections from Portugal's former colonies in Africa and Brazil. Following Goa's integration into India in December 1961, Emissora de Goa joined the national All India Radio network. This transition marked a shift in the station's Portuguese-language segments, which increasingly featured Brazilian music. The broadcaster began receiving records directly from Brazil, discontinuing shipments from Portugal. Consequently, a weekly segment titled "A Hora do Brasil" emerged, airing throughout the late 1960s and 1970s under the stewardship of radio journalist Imelda Dias. This presentation explores the radio's significance in post-colonial language policy in Goa and Brazil's role in shaping the Portuguese-language radio musical landscape. Brazil's influence also led to the adoption of a local repertoire, which has become a defining and distinctive characteristic of Goa within the broader Indian context. |
