Romta-Mell: The Changing Beat of Shigmo | Devotion : Tradition : Competition | Goa Stories Special

Описание: Shigmo in Goa is more than a festival — for many villages, it is identity.

At the heart of this vibrant celebration lies Romta-Mell, a powerful folk tradition of rhythm, music and storytelling that has travelled from village streets to competitive Shigmo parades across Goa.

But as Romta-Mell grows in popularity, questions are being asked about how this tradition has evolved over the years.

In this documentary, Goa Stories speaks to mentors and masters from Romta-Mell mandals across Goa, exploring:

• The history of competitive Shigmo parades
• The revival of Romta-Mell among the youth
• New trends and innovations in performances
• Concerns about preserving the traditional spirit
• The challenges mandals face while keeping the tradition alive

Featuring insights from:

• Sooraj Pinge — Shree Shantadurga Babreshwar Yuvak Sangh, Calangute
• Vighnesh Naik — Suyog Shigmotsav Mandal, Adpai – Ponda
• Pradyumna Chari — Khandepar Shigmotsav Samiti, Khandepar
• Shubham Naik — Shree Mandleshwar Managuru Shigmostav Mandal, Vazem – Shiroda ‪@ShreeMandleshwarManaguru‬

As the beats of dhol-tashe echo through Goa during Shigmo, this film reflects on a tradition that continues to evolve while remaining deeply rooted in village pride and cultural identity.
