The effect of imported culture

Uk Best Asian Brass Band. Part of Asian British Music




This is an example of the effect the 400 years of British rule has had in India. The mixing of traditional Indian music and instruments clashes with the British brass band tradition. This idea is very present in Indian pop music (Baliwood).

Whoa--it's even odder to SEE this sort of thing happening. What better example of hybrid culture? That really is a trip.
