Conceptually, this feels very similar to dipping fries in icecream. Two nice things that i'd never in a million years think to combine, how the hell could this ever be any good? And yet somehow it not only works, it turns out it's an absolutely fantastic combination.

[@oldmangaming9259]

It's actually not that uncommon in Scotland! There are many Scottish people of Asian heritage and Scotland is a big melting pot, so the cultures just mix. But then again we also invented "deep fried Mars bars" and "deep freid pizza", so some fusions are less heart-attacky than others, to be fair. Seriously, though, I have to say that this is simply the best musical thing with pipes and Asian drums, that I have seen yet! I even missed Scotland a wee bit... :/ Thanks to all involved. This was excellently done!

Of course! There's a common heritage from the ancient steppes of Eurasia. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin loved to blend the two traditions. He met Ravi Shankar before Ravi was 'cool' in the UK.

This is a perfect example of why "culture appropriation" arguments are stupid. It's the blending and sharing of our cultures that make this gem possible and people like these that create the things that inspire future generations to be creative. Absolutely beautiful to listen to and watch.

You confuse cultural appropriation and appreciation

[@meoff7602]

​@@lizzmilNope, sorry the term culture appropriation is racist in it's self. It's claiming no one, but those born into it can become a part it without "taking it over". You can't take over 1000+ of cultural development. It's not even possible.

[@devyl82]

LOVE the energy! The marriage of two different music styles couldn't have been done better! *edit* If you went on tour with Bloodywood (an Indian metal band); I'd pay ridiculous amounts of money to see y'all live!

@@TheSnakeCharmer No way! Massive respect!

[@suburbanbanshee]

There are huge amounts of similarity between the ancient Celtic and the ancient Indian cultures, to the point that scholars have used Vedic literature to understand some of the odder points of medieval Irish law. So this is sort of a family Indo-European reunion, and I find it delightful for that... But much more for the intrinsic excellence of the performances and concept.
