I posted this on the other Kala thread. Bird Flu is still dope but the beat being a whole-cloth Bollywood sample takes a little something away from it, especially after those stories around the release about going to India and recording with drummers.

"For "Bird Flu," M.I.A. harnessed the power of South Indian percussion: "30 drummers in a room" playing an instrument called the urmi, a which is used in temple rituals. The result, M.I.A. recalled, was "a massive beat – the total opposite of the snap beat sound that was popular in the U.S. at that time. People kept telling me: That record is going to clear the dance floor.""
Maybe she did record with a bunch of drummers but it didn't sound as good as the sample...
