Apache Indian - Move Over. Ameish Is Here.
Friday, April 17, 2009 18:06For years, my friends and I would discuss the pathetic state of Indian hip hop, noting that the only Indian rappers/MCs of note were British artists Panjabi MC and less so, Apache Indian aka Steve Kapur (you can admit you own “No Reservations”). That may all change.
A few months ago, my mother sent me a video of Ameish Govindarajan performing his single “Save Ourselves”. When I first watched it with her, I immediately dismissed it as another Indian kid trying to have street cred, but as I kept watching this video, it became clear the 25 year old definitely had talent. This should not have surprised. I know the Govindarajan family and they are all immensely musically oriented and talented. Ameish’s newly married sister is a eclectic singer who has performed at numerous venues in Los Angeles. For those of you who haven’t seen the video yet, the video is below. Enjoy it, and for more background on Ameish, read this insightful interview:
