Welcome to South Asian Overground, a podcast created to share with you the dynamic world of being South Asian; introducing you to some INCREDIBLE South Asian creatives, sharing our personal experiences and connectedness to our culture/heritage, and also - on a more personal level - I wanted to curate something to help me connect more to my ‘brownness’, which I feel has not been fully a part of me for a little while! Expect to be opened up to the world of Bollywood, guest mixes from some epic djs, and the mention of someones 'Auntie' at least once in every ep! Much love, Talina xo

Creating Independent Tamil Music & Working Alongside M.I.A (the GOAT), with Saint Raavan

Saint Raavan (aka Michael Roshan), is an incredible Tamil singer/songwriter, whose completely self-produced & self-managed, but also happens to have a mentor team consisting of the GOAT that is M.I.A.

In this episode of 'South Asian Overground' I chatted with Saint Raavan about how deeply connected to his Sri Lankan-Tamil roots he feels, and how this consistently shows up in his music, the difficulties many Tamil people face with being pigeon holed as Indian rather than being recognised as Tamil, and of course going on tour with M.IA. and working on her latest album, MATA.

This episode also features one of Saint Raavans beautiful Tamil songs, Ennodu, which came out in 2022, and trust me it may be one of the most gorgeous sounding songs you will ever hear!

I hope you enjoy this glorious episode and wonderful insight into Saint Raavan's experience as a South Asian male,
