Summary: Anand Bhatt "El Latindio" https://smarturl.it/getlatindianstyle So, I've never told this story publicly. First – you've gotta understand, being a latin pop musician is often like being a member of the rat pack, but in spanish. Although I'd love to fancy myself as Dean Martin, let's face it – I'm prob Sammy. You could be going about your business innocently, but crazy shit happens. This is true for musicians stateside too, part of the biz – but as a Hindu I'm usually the only one without a gun. Not even sure I'd know what to do with one! On one of these crazy days, I was in Colombia and was tagging along with a friend who was creating a map of old school Escobar style mansions. Upon approaching one, he decided to ring the bell to ask if we could see the inside. An old lady answered the door and OK'd our entrance. It is important to note that my friend is american-white, although he'd lived in latin america for a while he was still very noticeably not hispanic. Within minutes of us looking around the amazing house it became quite clear that this was an active cartel house (embarrassingly not my first either, just like Sammy, I end up stumbling into these places more often than I admit) . Soon, a local guy showed up with two tourists (a retired Texan and a young Irish party-goer). Both had obviously been drinking. Did I mention it was only 2 in the afternoon? Well, the two sat down and demanded drugs and hookers -as if they were ordering sleaze from a restaurant menu. The local guy saw my friend and me, and I overheard him tell the lady of the house in spanish that we “belonged to him” and that We were paying the bill for his two gringo goons and that he should get a commission. Again, did I mention it was only 2 in the afternoon? This is when I turned to my friend and let him know that we needed to get out of there QUICKLY. However, upon trying to leave, we noticed that the front door was chained and locked shut with a giant padlock! We were trapped inside, and on the hook for God knows how many Thousands of dollars (even in pesos) that these two weirdos were spending on hookers and blow! Their girls showed up, and it was comically clear to see they were obviously not happy about having to hang out with these two guys. Even though, I have to say, pretty stellar music had been playing on the radio in the background and these women were Stunningly attractive – but these two guys were Only interested in getting wasted and talking about sports (or whatever nonsense they were yelling about). My friend at this point was pretty useless, he was not able to sense the warning signs, and at the sight of two other white guys he was too excited to want to leave their side: joining in on whatever inane drunken conversation they wanted to have. I tried to discuss with the lady who let us in, that this was ALL A MISTAKE and we needed to leave and had nothing to do with these guys – and long story short: it was pretty clear we were going to get shot that afternoon. VERY QUICKLY it became a situation of “We need to get out of here, or we are going to die” – and any minute .......
