    M.I.A. is the only artist that can show it's not only the West there is that exists... there is a whole other UNIVERSE outside of the West with so many different cultures, traditions, colors, tastes. Erasing and Euro-washing our cultures won't work, we are here after centuries of exploitation, oppression, devastation, and we are determined to be here for a long time! Thank you M.I.A.

      Indeed, but we need to accept that all cultures will mix in the future despite the historical exploitation, oppression, devastation. Almost all the cultures get colonized by the western technologies, knowledge, and means of production or realization. For instance, this video clip was realized with a video camera who is traditionally western and it's shared on a western media. The cars in the this video were western and even the theory of music who made this song a reality is a western reform made by Catholic church at the end of medieval era. It's good to share all cultures by these means, but we need to accept the fact that they will tend to mix with the globalization of markets, the internet and means of transports.

    I have alway been impressed with M.I.A's ability to highlight the beauty and brilliance of her own culture and the culture of others'. While other artist attempt such "inspired" performances, those works end up falling flat and succumbing to cultural appropriation and Orientalist tropes. I feel that I can always count on her to make amazing, globalized music and also incredible visuals for the intersectional and cross-cultural generations.

    For those who clearly don't comprehend the difference;
    Appropriation is the act of taking something unique or original to a culture/region & attempting to erase their claim & history to APPROPRIATE it as something entirely one's own without attribution, context, or credit that reveals its' true nature. An example of appropriation is the use of dreadlocks which one then attributes as an "Urban" trend. It's not, it came from a specific region & people, indicative of their climate, biology, beliefs & culture. To take it & erase its' history is appropriation.
    Appreciation is showcasing the culture, art, & perspective of another region, people, or country without claiming it as your own. Which is what this video does. There are no racewashed background dancers incorporating several culture's dances into a choreographed routine in some pristine studio to strobe lights & trap music. This is a sweeping showcase of real visceral art performed by those who naturally would perform them with proper context & the explicit understanding that M.I.A does not claim rights or originality.
    This is healthy. Deep breaths. Enjoy the damn performances.

    • @audreyh6628

      That would be true if profit were taken out of the equation. At this video is a part of a billion dollar industry which MIA is complicit with - and personally profits from considerably - you cannot so simply assert that there is nothing to take issue with here. If she weren't present in the video at all then I would buy this argument more...but she is still using these people as a backdrop for her video, ie her own and her record label's profit. So you take some deep breaths and think on that...

    • @MiruyaChan
      @MiruyaChan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +64

      Newsflash: Paying an artist to take part in your video doesn't make said video appropriation. Artists of all cultures are allowed to showcase their skills and get paid for it without "betraying" their culture.
      Unless you are from said culture, you have no right to criticizing their decisions on who to perform for. I know it must be hard to swallow, but the world doesn't revolve around Anglo-American countries. Nobody in India cares about whether you think Indians should be allowed in Western music videos or not - and I dare say most would think you horribly racist for trying to deny them that right.

    MIA lived in the worst time to do what she did - first years of her career were the era where any artist discussing politics was treated as crazy/vapid/self righteous in the media, and then the next years were in the 'your fave is problematic' era where if you were thoughtful and political you'd get a target on your back from the same self-appointed critics for not 'staying in your lane' or for appropriation or whatever pop-theory they could tear you down with. And yet she stayed true to her vision and changed the face of music - one of the greatest artists of our era for sure.

    What an amazing showcase of two cultural traditions. I hardly know what to call them! The girls with the swords for the first song, and the great dancing man for the second jam. Righteous.

    The reason her video was taking down and just now being uploaded because there were tons of hate from youtube or suppose some source from the ignorant media saying she was "appropriating" culture from South Asian ( ... yeah she is from South Asian hello, Sri Lanka!!!) and told her to now show her video( eye roll) also that she was "appropriating" West African culture, hmmm i don't see it there. But I did see That dansish singer on her video lean on and Iggy Piggy, Beyonce, Nikki Mainja, and many other artist "appropriating" culture. But since we live in a mind numb world full of zombies that let shit like this fly past them they allow it, but when a woman from that her own damn country that's located in South Asian shoots a video in South Asian that's appropriation!!! Also she is barely even in the in the video really. I am just mind boggle of such ignorance. I'm am done with America and they wonder why other countries want to bomb us.
