Suburbs of Goa is SomaFM's worldbeat excursion, from the San Francisco service that Rusty Hodge founded in 2000 as commercial-free, listener-supported internet radio. The channel blends Desi and Arabic-influenced sounds: Bollywood colour, bhangra and South Asian electronic fusion, Middle Eastern strings and global chillout grooves. It is one of SomaFM's most cosmopolitan playlists, designed as a continuous journey through the musical crossroads of South Asia and beyond.
