Bamboo Banga by M.I.A.

About Bamboo Banga

"Kala" opens with the uninvitingly spare “Bamboo Banga”, which samples Indian Tamil filmi composer Ilayaraja and bends the lyric of The Modern Lovers “Roadrunner”. The song celebrates a kid running alongside a Third World tourist’s Hummer and banging on its door. .
