Question: Of what origin is the singer of the song "Galang"?
Context: Origin Vol.  1 (also referred to as Origin I) is an album by the Swedish band The Soundtrack of Our Lives.  It was released in Europe during October 2004, and in the US during March 2005.  Actor and singer Jane Birkin appears on the track "Midnight Children".  The song "Bigtime" was used as the official theme song for WrestleMania 21 and was later used in "Gran Turismo 4" as part of the soundtrack.  "Bigtime" was also used by Sky1 in an advert for a new episode of "Futurama".  The song "Mother One Track Mind" was also used in Gran Turismo 4 as part of the soundtrack. "The Moonshiner" is a folk song with disputed origins.  It is catalogued as Roud Folk Song Index No. 4301.  Some believe that the song originated in America, then later was made famous in Ireland.  Others believe that it was the other way around.  The Clancy Brothers stated on their recording that the song is of Irish origin, but again, this is disputed.  Delia Murphy was singing it in Ireland from the late 1930s.  American country music singer Tex Ritter is famous for a song of similar tune and lyrics by the title "Jack of Diamonds" from as early as 1933.  Bob Dylan recorded "Moonshiner" in 1963; this version was released on "The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991".  The song has also been performed by Elliott Smith, Cat Power, Rumbleseat, Cast Iron Filter, Peter Rowan, Railroad Earth, Bob Forrest, Roscoe Holcomb, Uncle Tupelo, Jeffrey Foucault, The Tallest Man On Earth, Tim Hardin, Charlie Parr, Punch Brothers, Redbird, Sons of an Illustrious Father, Robert Francis, Scorpios, Ekoostik Hookah, Moriarty and Ben Holland. Indoribbean Pop is a fusion genre of music, combining American, Caribbean and East Indian musical elements.  The term is a portmanteau of the words Indo and Caribbean, not be confused with Indo-Caribbean.  The term was coined by the American writer, artist, singer, and movie producer known as Coolie Mac.  He was the first person of Indian origin to have a hit rap song played internationally called "Slumdog Nillionaire."  Influenced by the writings of the Franco-Mauritian author Khal Torabully, Coolie Mac introduces his predecessor's neologism, "Coolitude", into song form.  "Coolitude" is an intellectual framework designed to articulate the literary imaginaries of mosaic India.  Coolitude in itself is an expression from the inner soul of the forgotten Coolie and his descendants only to resurrect the Voice of his Spirit and his community to reverberate the Indian Diasporic experience to the global community.  In 1991, the Franco-Guadeloupean singer/songwriter Kooly Robert Jasawant developed an ode for Coolitude.  Likewise, Indoribbean Pop is an acoustical framework for "Coolitude" to express itself in the soul of music in Coolie Mac's debut album called Cooliology, as well as the literature, poetics, artistry, culture, history and musicality, of the Indian Diasporic community. "Origin of Love" is a song by the British singer and songwriter Mika.  It was released as the second single in the United Kingdom from his third studio album, "The Origin of Love" (2012).

The single was released on British radio on 3 December 2012 and its music video was posted on 15 September 2012 on YouTube and Vimeo. Timothy Robert "Tim" Maurer (born October 10, 1980) is an American singer, best known as the former lead singer of third-wave ska band Suburban Legends.  He has left the band on two separate occasions.  The first was in 2000 after the recording of Origin Edition.  He rejoined the band in early 2002 after his replacement singer Chris Batstone left the band.  He officially left the band again in September 2005 after the band's third consecutive appearance on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, performing a new song entitled "Moving Closer."  The band's former trumpet player, Vincent Walker, rejoined the band for the performance, then took over as lead singer afterward.  Maurer returned for a final performance with the band on November 29, 2005 at Huntington Beach High School for a benefit show for the Ryan Dallas Cook Memorial Fund, which was set up following the death of Suburban Legends' trombonist Dallas Cook. "Michael Finnegan" (variant spellings include "Michael Finnagen" and "Michael Vinnegan") is an example of an unboundedly long song, which can continue with numerous variations until the singer decides (or is forced) to stop.  Like most other perpetual songs, this song tends to be sung by schoolchildren.  It is a popular song often sung around a campfire or during scouting events.  The origin of the words and music is unknown, but the tune bears similarity to Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.  The earliest documented reference is "The Hackney Scout Song Book" (Stacy & Son Ltd, 1921).  It also appears in "The Oxford song book, vol.2, collected and arranged by Thomas Wood" (Oxford University Press, 1927). "Galang" is a song by British musician M.I.A. from her debut album "Arular".  It was released on Showbiz Records in 2003 as her first single, which pressed 500 vinyl copies, gaining immediate international recognition via radio airplay, fashion shows, club rotations and internet filesharing.  "Galang" was re-released on 1 November 2004 via XL Recordings as the second single from the album released by the label and was released for a third time as "Galang '05" on 11 October 2005 by the label and in the US by Interscope Records.  It is written by Maya "M.I.A." Arulpragasam, Justine Frischmann, Ross Orton and Steve Mackey.  It first appeared on M.I.A.'s six song demo tape in 2003, her official MySpace account on 9 June 2004 and was later reworked slightly by Orton and Mackey who received production credit for the song.  "Galang" was the second song M.I.A. wrote on her Roland MC-505, intending for the piece to be performed by Frischmann's band Elastica.  Inspired by her experiences and observations of life in London, M.I.A. wrote the song to encourage her friends in the band to continue to make music.  However, after cowriting the song, Frischmann convinced M.I.A. to record "Galang" herself, complimenting the piece's lyrical narrative and music direction.

The song was written by guitarist Ben Moody, lead singer Amy Lee and keyboardist David Hodges, and it was produced by Moody and Dave Fortman.

The version originally appearing on "Origin" was later included on "Fallen", featuring piano with backing strings.  The version of the song released as a single was dubbed the "band version" because of the complete band's performance of the bridge and final chorus of the song.
