The New Delhi-based rapper and producer Kinari recently released her new project "BADDUA". Ilo Toerkell spoke to the artist about the diverse range of influences she draws from, including traditional Indian and Tamil sounds, hip-hop and Ballroom beats, her relationship to faith, and how the district Dilli 17 of her hometown has shaped her creative output.
The opera singer Michaela Tobin, known as White Boy Scream, turns the genre on its head and makes it resonate with underground drone music. Resistance to musical and societal structures is at the core of the artist's practice. Tobin doesn't just call out the eurocentricity of the genre but laces her lyrics with social and political commentary.
