The three best live gigs I’ve ever been to were Nitin Sawhney the first time, Nitin Sawhney the second time, and Nitin Sawhney the third time.

That 'white' is singing in your language because she is a composer of Indian classical music. She composed the score for Tanika Gupta's theatrical adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'Great Expectations', receiving critical acclaim. She has performed with Nitin Swahney in venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, The Royal Opera House and Sadlers Wells. If you understood the function of music you would know that its a celebration of humanity, a creative inclusive process and expression.

We British whites are Indo-Dravidian dear. And we use Tamilian alphabets. It's who we are. Besides which EVERYONE KNOWS the English (or was it the Scots) invented Karahi. lol Although frankly, you have a point re the celebration of the world - which is why 'OUR English' should still be a living language and take everything into its flowing river; phone-glish prolly even more so. I note they all still speak English in Star Trek 'the Very Far Future' episodes. Even Harry Kim speaks English. Goddammit even that Borg '7 of goddamn 9' speaks it!

I'm British and music from this island excites me and is the one thing which makes me unreservedly proud of our society. Radiohead, Razorlight, Idlewild, Imogen heap, Chvrches, Rae Morris, Izzy bizu, Tom odell, bonobo..... I love it all. Thanks for such a nice comment about where I come from. BTW, Raye is our latest musical genius.... check out her Mercury music prize performance, recently 🎉

Nitin Sawney was lined up to start with this song, at sunset. It was a perfect experience, old fortress, summer evening, great mood, beautiful people, heavenly music...I was so lucky to be there! This studio performance is just as amazing in its simplicity and beauty.
