World Goa Day is celebrated by designating a day specifically for Goans to
reflect on our Goan identity and to consider what being a Goan means to us
as well as to take pride in being Goan and to unite with Goans all over the
world, in solidarity, to celebrate Goa’s history, Konkani language, music,
cultural heritage and traditions,” said London-based Rene Baretto who was
