Interestingly, in the late medieval times, there used to be a
song sung by the lascars of Goa and Malabar. The song was apparently known as
the Calicut song. The first time it was documented in English was when Anna, an
ayah from Calicut mentioned it to her memsahib in 1860. I will cover Anna’s
interesting story in a separate article, but this one is about the song itself.
