Some of the clashes are about who we've been, how we feel, how I feel as a second generation Asian and how the third generation feel. There's a lot of anger, a lot of beauty, humbleness, aggressiveness, frustration, sincerity and passion that makes the music what it is. They should connect - one can help the other. As far as rap music is concerned, music belongs to anybody and everybody. There's a lot of punkiness and underground elements in Indian classical music that don't get acknowledged.
Music has no boundaries - it can all speak to each other.
Because of the bhangra scene, the stigma the Asian community in England used to attach to musicians has calmed down a bit. The reason for losing that stigma isn't the right reason - the music. Some parents have seen that Apache Indian has made loads of money and drives round in Mercs - the materialism has made it acceptable and that's the wrong reason. But at the end of the day there has to be a starting point. I have tremendous respect for the Asian Dub Foundation, Hustlers HC and The Kaliphz.
