Obligato is Goa's first latino band featuring Donna Noronha and Amalia Gomes on vocals, Joshua Noronha on guitar, Carlos Gonsalves and Cedric Viegas on percussion, Julius Fernandes on keyboards, Colin D'Cruz on bass and Lester Godinho on drums. The band's repetoire covers the whole spectrum of latin rhythms like samba, socca, salsa, merengue, songo, etc. Obligato's music in a nutshell is happy carnival music played live and straight from the heart as opposed to current trends of sequencing, programming and miming.
