Understand
Fugdi is one of the oldest women's folk dances in Goa, traditionally performed without any musical instruments — the rhythm comes entirely from clapping, foot-stamping and call-and-response singing.
Dancers form a circle and move in increasing tempo as the song builds, often performed during Ganesh Chaturthi, Shigmo and other festival gatherings by women of the household or village.
