Can anyone tell me what is the song at the beginning of this podcast?  It's one of the coolest things I've heard!

 

One more thing: a suggestion for the Gard (or El Garderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing); could you list the titles and artists for songs that you include in the podcasts?

 

Thanks to all

Hi!

 

Thanks for writing, cat!

 

That tune's great, isn't it?! It's the team-up of The Wolfmen (Marco Parroni's band - he of Adam and the Ants) and Daler Mehndi, one of India's top singers. They had it posted on Myspace for a while about two years ago, and then I bought it from Amazon. There's a short vid on Youtube that covers them while they made it, and they just announced that they plan on doing an entire album together! Awesome!

By the way, I chose it, obviously, not thinking about the fact that I was doing a show on American Indians. I was pleased to learn something cool from George Carlin about the title "American Indian". He was striking back at the PC term "Native American" which most of us are anyway. He said that it was a mistake to believe that the term "Indian" was based on Columbus' belief that he was traveling to India. India as a nation didn't exist then. The term actually comes from what Columbus called the people he met: "Una gente en dios", or "one people in/of God". "En dios" was corrupted over the years, developing into "In-Dians".

 

And yeah, I'll try to post the music for you! I tried a while back but couldn't keep up! I often post the info on Twitter when I announce one of the pods going out. Will try to get the info here for you!

Hasta!
