Começou em [[Goa]], [[Índia]], no final da década de [[1980]], quando [[hippie]]s, viajantes, buscando espiritualidade e um sem-número de pessoas ligadas a manifestações de contra cultura, munidos de conhecimento técnico de produção de música electrónica e de um puro desejo de curtir e experimentar, desenvolveram, de forma intuitiva, um novo estilo sonoro. [[Goa Gil]] é um dos fundadores desse movimento.
Foram incorporados à tradicional música electrónica elementos da sonoridade oriental, bem como ritmos menos industriais do que aqueles tão comuns ao techno urbano, que era o estilo vigente da época. Informações rítmicas tribais e étnicas foram também incorporadas, resultando assim numa música mais orgânica, mais facilmente assimilável, que estimulava não só estados próximos ao transe místico (associados aos mantras indianos, por exemplo), mas também uma maior harmonia com os ambientes naturais e ao ar livre.
Festas espontâneas emergiam no litoral de Goa, quando voluntários se encarregavam de instalar som e decoração precárias, mas suficientes para levar os participantes a experimentar uma atmosfera celebrativa muito especial, não só a partir da música, mas de uma vivência única de liberdade e tolerância, da dança sem regras, das viagens psicadélicas e espirituais.
Foi assim que nasceu o chamado गोया ट्रांस . Inicialmente melódico e muito carregado dos elementos orientais, foi levado até [[Europa]], onde aos poucos se multiplicaram festas inspiradas no estilo de Goa. As festas foram aumentando de tamanho, atraindo mais e mais pessoas, e trazendo a tona um ''revival'' das velhas aspirações dos movimentos hippie e da contra cultura da [[década de 1960]] e década de [[1970]]. Isso explica o processo de fusão cada vez mais nítida do velho [[rock'n roll]] às batidas hipnóticas demúsica electrónica e dos elementos orientais.''

The Real History of Goa -Trance ... Part I
As far as the Hippie community of Goa, its origin and its way of life are concerned, a few books have already been published on the subject [3]. Therefore, only the main events which are necessary to understand the surrounding in which this music appeared will be mentioned here.
Goa, an Indian State on its own
The State of Goa, with more than one million inhabitants, is located approximately in the middle of the Indian West Coast.
In 1510, Portuguese colonists landed on its beaches and the European occupation lasted until 1961. This western presence for 450 years has strongly shaped the cultural life of Goa, for instance through the traditional catholic events celebrated at the end of the year.
As a consequence, it is a region on its own in India : the Goans themselves feel a little bit like strangers in India.
This situation made the settlement of the first Hippies over there in the mid-60's all the easier. They were looked upon as the new colonists, towards whom the Goans proved as tolerant as they had been with the Portuguese.
The first Hippies who travelled to Goa were as much attracted by its beautiful beaches, the kindness of the inhabitants, the low cost of living, the mildness of Winter or the Indian spirituality than by its local hashish, which remained legal until the mid-70's. one of the first Hippies to have set foot over there in the mid-60's was Eight-Finger Eddie. He and his friends launched the first "Goa parties" : campfire on the beach, acoustic guitars, and dancing under the influence of hallucinogenic substances …
At Christmas, Goa became the official meeting point of all the Hippies who were exploring the Eastern world. They used to meet on the beaches of Anjuna, Vagator, Calangute, to tell each other their amazing journeys. At first, they just rented a guesthouse for a month or two, but soon, some felt at home on the Goa shores and decided to settle there for good. From then on, the Goa Hippie community began to expand dramatically
