The songs sung are devoted to Lord Krishna. Ghumat, Simel and other melodic instruments accompany the dance. Goff has an affinity with tribal dance forms of Gujarat.", u'permissions': {u'read': u'[]', u'admin': u'[]', u'update': u'[]', u'delete': u'[]'}, u'text': u'Good description of a Goff-folk-Dance', u'tags': u'["Goa","Goff-folk-dance","Shigmo-festival","peasant-community"]'} created: Tue, 10 Feb 2015, 05:59 AM UTC
