Manifest destiny

Kaushik remixes Karsh Kale’s ‘Manifest’ from his new album Broken English. I’m groovin’ on the familiar, mystical desi vocal over rap. Listen here.

The album’s swaggering opening track, “Manifest,” parcels rapping from MC Napoleon together with dhol programming and classical Hindi vocals from Vishal Vaid, one of Kale’s immensely talented, longtime collaborators. It is a startling but confident choice for an opener; as the only hip hop track, it would have stood out oddly anywhere else on the album. [Link]

Kale’s label and EthnoTechno co-sponsored a ‘Manifest’ remix contest which just ended. The remix was inspired by the contest.

    It looks like someone went out of thier way to discredit the 3rd co-sponsor of that contest by linking to the text-only bylaws page instead of the actual http://www.acidplanet.com/contests/karshkale contest page.

    cheers,
    sarita

    Or used the top result on Google. Someone didn’t get their gourmet coffee this morning.
