The auditorium of the Fundação do Oriente, in Lisbon, hosts the concert entitled “Natal na Índia” (India's Christmas), inspired by the homonymous song that became popular among all Portuguese choirs and singers. "Vamos a Belém" is a traditional song from Goa, which was the capital of the Portuguese State of India.

According to the Portuguese musicologist Mário de Sampayo Ribeiro, it was composed in Portugal in the eighteenth century and from there it was taken to the East. In addition to this famous song, other traditional Portuguese Christmas themes and traditional Goan songs will be performed. The interpretation will be made by members of the Setúbal Opera Company and Setúbal Voice Choir.
