Like any self-respecting group of desis, Sub Drifters are all about groovin' to some bhangra beats. But South Asian dance music goes way beyond one genre, and on March 3rd, we'll all get a chance to see how far the boundaries have been stretched. DJs v:shal kanwar and Inda Nile will turn Mt.

But South Asian dance music goes way beyond one genre, and on March 3rd, we'll all get a chance to see how far the boundaries have been stretched. DJs v:shal kanwar and Inda Nile will turn Mt.

www.joesmovement.org) into a dance hall like no other, with help from artwork from the Sub Drift community, folk and graffiti artists, food/drink and the Rhythmaya Dance Company.

About the DJs:
Subcontinental Drift is proud to have DJ v:shal kanwar spin at his first event since returning from a two year stint in India. v:shal has long been a staple of the local arts scene and has shared the stage with the likes of ?uestlove, Karsh Kale, the Midival Punditz, Cheb-i-Sabbah and Janaka Selekta.
With her half-Armenian/ half-Pakistani heritage, DJ Inda Nile brings a truly global approach to the decks. She spins regularly with the Anthology of Booty, a DJ crew comprised entirely of women of color. A typical set from Inda Nile takes you on a journey along the silk road, from South Asia to the Balkans.
We hope to see you all there. Spread the word!!!
