On October 11th, the Haunted House came full circle, with a round show with the round number 30, and a reinterpretation of the "Cristopher Columbus" show we did exactly one year ago. This one we entitled "Encounters and Missencounters", and instead of focusing on Columbus, the Indies and the Native Peoples as we did last year, we focused on the mixing, the melting, the syncretism, the clash of cultures and the bastard results we so much enjoy.

Unfortunately, the show got lost. Burned. Gone.
There are several theories about this. Our Inca oracle thinks it no wonder that a show dedicated to indigenous tribes just 'disappeared' in the hands of a Spaniard. Our Ghost Host blames the intrusion of living people in our world of spirits and ethereal forms (we had two living presences with us on the show).
But as the weeks go on, it seems more and more clear that it was the censorship of the Spanish Inquisition that made this show disappear.
And so, sadly, the show is gone forever. But the music isn't! Here we have for you a playlist of what we played on that program. Unfortunately you can't enjoy our Ghost Host's stuttering nor Popoff's sneering retorts, but you still can listen to the music on our playlist:
