...Leisure & Tourism Project 1 Topic: Pull factor attracting tourists for Carnival in Goa CARNIVAL Carnival is Goa's most famous festival and has been celebrated since the 18th century. Meant to be a feasting-drinking-merrymaking orgy just before the 40 days of Lent; a time of abstinence and spirituality. Huge parades through the cities are organized with bands, floats and dances and balls in the evenings. The final day concludes with the famous Red-and-Black dance held by the Clube Nacional in Panjim. The origins of carnival are apparently the hedonistic feasts of ancient Rome and Greece. It made its appearance in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies, where it metamorphosed into the very Latin singing-dancing-drinking bouts. The carnival is presided over by King Momo, who on the opening day orders his subjects to party. The festival attracts thousands of tourists. The exciting and fun-filled three-day non-stop extravaganza of fun, frolic, song, music and dance that is uniquely Goan is a Pagan festival popular in Latin American countries that were colonies of Portugalatsomepointintime.

...General info The history of music in Iceland has no parallel in other European countries, or, probably, anywhere else in the world. In Iceland the music of the "Middle Ages" predominated well into the nineteenth century. Due to Iceland's isolation, centuries of musical development on the European continent had gone by unnoticed. Even ordinary four-part choral singing was first heard in the fifth decade of the 19th century. Instrumental music, in the usual sense of that term, was non-existent. When the "new" music finally found its way to Iceland, the population, with certain exceptions, especially as regards church music, proved to be more receptive than might have been expected. Latent creative talent soon emerged, and musical development has been exceedingly rapid in the twentieth century. In the 1980’s Icelandic music was on the world music map with the emergence of artists such as the Sugarcubes. In more recent years Iceland has seen international success of many more artists, such as Sigur Rós. Classical music Jón Leifs (1899-1968) is one of Iceland’s best known classical composer writing many of his works about Icelandic nature which bore titles such as Hekla, Dettifoss and Geysir. The Iceland Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1950 and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2009. Pianist Víkingur Ólafsson has garnered an international reputation as well as cellist Sæunn Þorsteinsdóttir and Daníel Bjarnason, a young classical composer and conductor. Opera The Icelandic...

Time and again there has to be instances that are path breaking and lead to the situations that ultimately are the building blocks of a new norm or cultural practice.

If one remains static tothese developments, that person is bound to be left behind and labelled as a person sufferingfrom ‘generation gap’ syndrome. PUNJABI CULTURE – THE RICHEST There is nothing more appropriate than to quote first Nobel laureate of India, Rabindra NathTagore, “Similar to Germany in Europe, Tigris – Euphrates valley in Western Asia, Chinese plains in Eastern Asia, our Punjab is one of those tracts on the surface of the earth, where thestreams of history flowed with full vigour. Punjab is that beautiful piece of land on the skiesof which the first day of morn sprouted, in the forests of which sacred hymns echoed for thefirst time, on the surface of which was born the first civilized man of India and on the bosomof which the Indian culture originated.”In fact, the Indus valley civilisation is believed to be older than even the culture of Vedic period.

...The Theory of Odissi An analysis on the traditional dance form of Odissi; it’s history, meaning and will focus on some of the different repertoires and positions in Odissi. ------------------------------------------------- Sushrut S. Vaidya Odissi is the classical dance form of the state of Orissa, popularly known for its picturesque temples and the combination of highs and lows in its music. During the course of the performance, one can notice the dancer depicting the structure of the temples and those of the idols, which come to life through the flowing movements, and graceful poses of the dancer. History: Odissi, as a dance form, may very well be one of the oldest forms of classical dances – with caves that date back the 2nd century depicting the origins of a dance scene with the assistance of full orchestration, naturally seen in Odissi. Archaeologists and scholars of dance have dated these caves to before Bharata’s Natyashastra, in which Odissi is mentioned as a style from South India by the name of Odra Magadhi. Though these performances were made at the Jagannath temple in Puri, it was widely performed in many Shaivite, Vaishnavite and Sakta temples in Orissa. The history of this dance form only says so much, the living tradition however, shows a lot more. It has been kept alive through the generations by two clans, the Maharis and Gotipuas. Maharis were once known as the Devdasis of Orissa. The word Mahari is derived from two Sanskrit words, namely Mahan...
