Although long ago one thing and another, as did the association, I thought I married well. Will almost two months since I went to see Asian Dub Foundation, group of Indians settled in London, I urge trained. Electronic Music and new trends / technologies . Peculiar formation, dedicated to the fusion of hip hop with electronics, mobile members, characterized by frenetic rhythms bases (although this time, live, I do not seem much) on this 'list' of Muffins Reggae, in an organizational chorus of voices almost take advantage to make any allusion to the contemporary world as complex and in constant change and conflict, and send messages. Indians 'abritanizados' or British with Indian features ... Nothing is coincidence. The logo of the band, the symbol of peace, the naturalness with which he devoted an issue to Libya, Egypt, the rest of the East who falls under a domino effect whose effects, adverse provision still do not know .., or the fact that he called the new album: "Living the History of Now" ... reflect the close relationship with today. And sometimes (if not always) is so angry that hard to think that the creators have not affecting them to avoid getting inspired by it and may even symbolically ordered: either with the letters directly, or through gestures, actions of the band, ' out stage.

ADF are Indians without burkas and openly, with tattoos, sweatshirts Nike, Western-style ... result of globalization or immigration movement (not just birds), Indians.

On the other hand, Julian Rosefeld , German artist who works with ease and talent in the language of the video-installation (that you can not stop watching, like a movie, which is also recorded in 35mm) has always been concerned by a hotly contemporary cliché and Another default image, particularly the Indians, which, indeed, is a community that goes almost unnoticed, " likely to have been reserved awarded, without notice, the role and roses hollow street vendor. In fact, this is how I realized and remembered I had seen his other work, in an exhibition at the DA2 (Salamanca).
