Who knows about M.I.A.? Her real name is Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam. She's from the UK, and is of Sri Lankan Tamil decent. Her mom is the activist Arul Pragasam, of Eelam Revolutionary Organization of Students fame. You can hear that militancy in MIA's music.
In a loose sense, this is Desi music. In a strict sense, this is hot as fuck, and everyone needs to get down with this phenomenal Sri Lankan sound. Check out these M.I.A. videos. I dare you to tell me this isn't some of the hottest Desi music out there.
