Rock y Roll Día is this Saturday! I caught up with Paul and asked the 411 for the event, who it’s supporting, and why he’s doing it!
Funny in the beginning. Mas café?
Serious and soulful in the middle.
And funny at the end.
Here it is. BOOM!
One of the pillars here at the Mambo is to make a positive and meaningful impact.
Therefore, instead of rockin’ the vote, we are going to MAMBO THE VOTE!
We’ve never tried this before, but we’re going to give everyone who votes an opportunity to win something cool! Here’s all that you need to do:

On a recent flight from NYC, agency partner Liz Arreaga met another woman that lives here in Austin and they got to talking about the election. Soon the talk turned to voting and what they personally could do to get people to show up at the polls. By the end of the flight, they had a bet going - the person who could get the most people to go out and vote, gets treated to dinner by the other.
Out of this, a contest was born.
Oh, and just so you know, we aren’t collecting email addresses, selling you anything, etc. Liz just hates to lose a bet.

Well, it depends on who you ask. But, for some in Latin America and even in The States, Columbus Day is known as a day that reveres the indigenous and its history.
I apologize for the zombie-like state the Spanish are giving. Or, the subservient positioning that the painter gives the original inhabitants. Perhaps this can be an insight into how sometimes we, as Americans, view the holiday.
Nevertheless, I leave you some interesting facts from Wikipedia about Día de La Raza and Columbus Day:
Please leave your comments/feelings about this subject. I’d love to hear them!
We here at the Mambo like to do research at the grassroots level. Throughout the coming weeks, you’ll be seeing a rollout of profiles highlighting Latinos across the USA.
