Went to the Asian Festival Saturday and was blown away by a music I didn't even know existed. Seems them Punjabi's been rippin' it up for some time now with something called Bhangra. It's my new fave tunage.

It seems to be a blend of traditional Punjabi intruments updated to hip-hoppy styling. I dunno how to explain it except anyone that's interested, check out MusicIndiaOnline. Click the Bhangra link to the left. Legit listening. My fave so far? Patola by Daljit Mutta w/Jeeti.

Word....or something :)
 
You have no idea...first time, I was walking down the street and some kid walked past and said, 'Word!'. I just said, 'Yes, it is.' He picked up his pace a bit, watching me. I dunno. Maybe he was looking for some pass code or a response or maybe it was a request or something.

Next time, I was at a club and some chick hollered 'Word!' at me; so, I hollered back 'Obfuscate!' figuring it was a request for a word. I guess I was wrong cause then she said something unkind.

*shrug*

Actually, 97% of Indians are caucasian anthropologically speaking ;). I think "white" or European American are better terms (although in America caucasian almost always means white when talking) :).

Anyways, if you like Punjabi music, then you really need to see this music video;

Isn't that the coolest thing you have ever seen?!:ultracool

really? hmmm....I certainly meant 'white' in the western sense. Mostly, I meant white as in I live in a cuturally inbred area of the world.

Sat Sree Akaal Jee, Kane :asian:

Most Panjabis use the word "caucasian" in the same context that Only An Egg does.

Words in bold in the same sentance denote advanced age, yes.

It's all right, though, I'm so unhip, I wear suspenders with a belt
 
Man guys I haven't been hip since 1990. I never got into hip hop or anything like that. Will Smith is as hip hoppy as I get. I have always liked the rock scene and to me that died after Aerosmith's Pump album.
 
I was also there and ended up a bit on the crispy side as it was so flipping hot on Saturday! But I had a great time and the people who put it together did a fabbo job! :D
