N.W WASHINGTON. D.C. 20008 April 4, 2011. Meera Shankar Ambassador of India The ‘maximum lNDlA’ festival hosted by the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in cooperation with the Indian Council of Cultural Relations and the Embassy from March 1-20, 2011 was a resounding success. As a co-sponsor of the festival, the Embassy was proud to be associated with ‘maximum lNDIA’. A festival of this magnitude to present India’s arts and culture in the U.S. was held after a gap of twenty five years. Our American friends were able to see and experience the rich diversity of art and culture from different parts of India under one roof — Indian dance, music, theatre, crafts, cuisine, literature and cinema. The milling crowds and sold out performances were a testimony to the tremendous interest and goodwill that Indian culture enjoys in the United States. ‘maximum INDlA’ also served as a unique opportunity for the people of India and the United States to rejoice in the steadily strengthening partnership between our two great democracies. I would like to congratulate Chairman David Rubenstein, President Michael Kaiser, Vice-President Alicia Adams and their entire team at the Kennedy Centre for their flawless execution of this large-scale project.

The Smithsonian Beside Itself: Exhibiting Indian Americans in the Era of New India Halfway through the Beyond Bollywood exhibition at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) in Washington, D.C., near the taxi stand and the installation of the Arch Motel, next to Vinod Dham’s Pentium chip and around the corner from DJ Rekha, is Ruee Gawarikar’s “The Goddess of Visas” (2013). The accompanying text panel describes the painting as “a humorous take on the tedious and anxiety-ridden process of applying for a work visa, the goddess holds a keyboard while benevolently showering her devotees with the ultimate blessing: the elusive H-1B visa...She leads her followers smoothly through the long process, influencing the minds of visa officers and showing dreams of a better life.” In fact, the painting is more interesting than its description suggests (Figure 1). A thick-fingered, unsmiling goddess stands on the head of an open-mouthed, balding man with sharp teeth and stricken eyes; the keyboard in one of her many clawed hands is brandished as a weapon.

  • Desi Remix: the Plural Dance Cultures of New York's South Asian
    Desi Remix: The Plural Dance Cultures of New York’s South Asian Diaspora Ashley Dawson English Department College of Staten Island/CUNY 2800 Victory Blvd. Staten Island, NY 10314 [email protected] On a sweltering August afternoon in 1996, New York City’s Summerstage concert series brought the South Asian dance music known as bhangra to Central Park. South Asian families from all over the tri-state area sunned themselves, jostled for room, and danced in a jam-packed sandy space under sun-dappled plane trees. New York turntablist DJ Rekha added some hometown flavor, spinning bhangra remixes to much applause before the Safri Boys, one of Britain’s hottest bhangra bands, took the stage. Although bhangra remix had been transforming South Asian youth culture in the US at least since the release of UK musician Bally Sagoo’s pathbreaking “Star Crazy” album in 1991, the concert in Central Park was a particular milestone. Here, visible to a broad public, was a display of the compelling cultural forms through which South Asians of the diaspora were articulating new, composite identities. The multiple regional contrasts and tensions that define identity within the subcontinent were harmonized in this diasporic context. The result was a powerful sense of cultural unity and pride. Desi (Hindi for “homeboy” or “homegirl”) culture had definitely arrived.1 Asian culture has been ‘kool’ in Britain for quite some time. Fusion artists like deejays Talvin Singh, State of Bengal, Badmarsh and Shri, Apache Indian, and Bally Sagoo, to name but a few of the crossover stars in Britain’s musical firmament, spearheaded the new Indo-chic which focused mainstream attention on Britain’s bhangra subculture.

Wentz Concert Hall, Naperville, March 22 Symphony Center, Chicago, March 24 CHICAGO (February 12, 2014) – Symphonic and electronic music converge when the Chicago Sinfonietta presents two concerts featuring Bhangra‐inspired DJ Rekha with Dave Sharma performing alongside her on traditional Indian percussion instruments. Two of the nation’s top young conductors, Alexandra Arrieche and Joseph Young, will be sharing the podium to lead the orchestra in the electronic works, along with music from their own cultural heritages: Brazilian and African‐American. These concerts takes a fresh, whimsical approach to disparate musical corners of the globe and is presented in two performances only, Saturday, March 22 at 8 pm at Wentz Concert Hall of North Central College in Naperville (171 E. Chicago Avenue) and Monday, March 24 at 7:30 pm at Orchestra Hall of Symphony Center in downtown Chicago (220 S. Michigan Avenue). Brazilian‐born conductor Alexandra Arrieche opens the concert with two works from her South‐ American roots, Piazzolla’s Fuga y Misterio and Villa‐Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileiras No. 2. Together, these two works provide an opportunity for her and the orchestra to shine before DJ Rekha and Mr. Sharma join them onstage. The first piece to incorporate an electronic element is Pyar Baile, which was originally produced by DJ Rekha and Dave Sharma with recorded vocals by Meetu Chilana and Zuzuka Poderosa.
