The Haunted House @ KUSF - Show 5- "Columbus: Hero or Villain?" Oct. 11 2013 by Casaencantada on Mixcloud

TODAY WE CELEBRATE COLUMBUS DAY!
 On Oct. 12 we commemorate the, ehem, "discovery" of America (aka "India") by Cristóbal Colón, that magical moment in history when the Spaniards arrived from Spain bringing all the advantages of civilization to these barbarous lands: pillage, theft, the Spanish Inquisition, alcoholism, slavery, venereal and other diseases, guns... in one word, PROGRESS!
 But mainly, the reason that we are thankful Columbus is that we have A DAY OF VACATION!!
 So we bring you a selection of songs about Columbus, or related to his trips, or of resistance to his influence, by artists such as Machito, Fats Waller, Arsenio Rodriguez, Culture, Macbeth the Great, sisters Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, Blind Blake, Jorge Ben and many more!

We have mambos, psychedelic bollywood songs, jazz, blues, rumba columbia, cumbia, calypso, reggae and so on and so forth!
We celebrate with those who celebrate and celebrate with those who do not celebrate!
Let the songs be the judge of the man!  

Mister Christopher Columbus 

Sailed the sea without a compass 

When his men began a-rumpus, 

Up spoke Christopher Columbus!
