I’ve found this to be rather cathartic. To me Henry Rollins is singing about Boris.

Not my style, but I get your point
Not to worry – I’ve a broad taste – Sawhney’s pieces are extremely good on their own terms.

Nitin Sawhney is a wonderfully sensitive musician in a wide variety of styles and musical genres. His spare, no-nonsense multi-tracked guitar accompaniment to Malian singer Oumou Sangare shows how ‘simpático’ he is. The entire piece is a great example of music as a language which communicates on an emotional level – you don’t need to understand the Wassoulou language to get something from this and it’s mercifully free of what Dizzy Gillespie used to describe as “the tyranny of the back-beat”.
