Fannah fi Allah, Qawwali Party, closing ceremony at Beloved Festival 2009 in Tidewater, Oregon. Did you think it was glowsticks and passifiers? Performing Mera Piya Ghar Ayaa (My Beloved Has Come Home) with Dildar Hussein, legendary tabla player of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan! They completely destroyed everyone in the audience.

Tamil Hip Hop
Today I listened to a podcast on Tamil hip hop that was pretty boring. But this song, ‘Gangster (Laadam)’ by Emcee Jesz and Dr Burn, has a pseudo-Latin vibe and sort of rules and reminds me a lot of Bone Thugz or Cypress Hill.
More to follow on Tamil hip hop? Probably not.
