Corridinho dance ...O Malhao, Malhao Lyrics

Corridinho dance is a popular Goan Portuguese dance, which our youth still dance, a poignant remembrance of a Colonial regime that ruled over us for 450 years. The cultural acculturation that has ingrained deep within us. A melodic and artistic fusion of East and West., that is mesmerizing to watch.
