Radical Sista and Bally Sagoo

This is by far one of the best articles I have read up to date in Humanities Core Course. What I really enjoyed about it was how you could feel like you were in the room with these artists. it is very interesting to hear of two, somewhat modern, artists talk about their process as musicians. I felt that bally did a better interview because of the amount of background that was provided with every response. What Bally seems to be talking about is culture clash. A mixing or collision of western and eastern cultural influences. It was funny when bally talks about how his african-american freinds were really surprised when he started using asian or indian influences in his music.
Radical Sista's account of her first Bhangra concert struck interest in me because she talks of how she snuck out. The fact that so many boys were hitting on her shows how uncommon it was for a girl to go to a concert. I guess back then parents were way more strict on their children. I thought my parents were strict but not letting children go to concerts is pretty radical. As i am writing this, i'm listening to some bally sagoo. You can really see the indian influences in his music because of the indian vocals. Also, i noticed a modern beat and bass in the background. It was a pretty good song called "Aap Ki Nazron Ne Samjha".
