Nitin Sawhney's conFUSION

While I take many moments to indulge in this new and well overdue discovery, I suggest you do the same. I heard theNPR piece/interview today as I drove home and am now quite smitten. His words and rhythm represent a unity for Britain and an awesomely genuine and authentic hope in humanity- at the risk of sounding trite, which he is anything but.
' "What he's trying to say is that we should be colorblind in terms of our sort of cultural understanding of Britain and London," says Laura Barnett, an arts editor who profiled Sawhney for the British newspaper The Guardian. "We're all Londoners. We're all British. We're not British-Asians, we're not white, we're not black; we're just people. And I think that's what he does musically: By drawing all these influences together into one organic whole — which is more successful on some occasions than others — he's creating something greater than the sum of its parts. And that's kind of who we are: We're a mongrel mix. And he celebrates that." '
As I now wait eagerly for my cd to arrive and listen to this free download- do the same and let these intriguing words, which are the tail-end to another great NPR piece, inspire you as you listen - "What Sawhney does is often called "fusion." He prefers confusion."
