World Music: HardKaur, "Bombay Deewana"
-Download on iTunes
-Buy the album
(UK) Indian born UK-based rapper HardKaur goes back to Bombay for this madcap, somewhat kitsch outing. It’s a pretty gentle outing, though, with HardKaur behaving herself and keeping it clean, Bollywood style, where no one even kisses on screen. But it seems that romance is the last thing that she has in mind anyway; this video is about female empowerment. Not surprising given her background: a mother who had to re-invent herself and become financially independent to get her children back, a father who died in the riots following the assassination of Indira Ghandi, and the culture shock of moving to England where the young girl faced racism for the first time, and eventually found her voice behind a microphone.
