Goa is the name of a sub-genre of Trance that has roots all the way back to the province of Goa in India. It is characterized by its use of a driving 4/4 beat (some goa is in 3/3), a trance-inducing melody(usually in an eastern or indian set of notes a.k.a. scale) that is performed by various synthesizers (not all of it is done with a roland TB-303, God, that would be boring as hell), and various effects like teleport zapping, blasts, and pitch bending cracks that help to create a mystical like state to a listener. Lastly, goa is TRANCE, not techno. Duh. Oh yeah, and psytrance is just a broken down more mechanical version of goa, if you were wondering.
Artists include infected mushroom, dreamchild, astral projection, GMS, sun project, etc.

Goa is a unique part of India, once a colony of Portugal. If you are in any major multicultural city (Toronto, London, Dubai), you will find Indian people with Portuguese last names, they are generally from Goa.

Also a form of trance music. See Goa Trance.

a genre of electronic music, characterized by the overuse of the roland 303 synthesizer. however, the creative expression of the overall song is alive and allows for the listener to "travel" to another place.
