‘Shambhar Bars’ – Swadesi, MC Mawali, BamBoy, Robston Soares

Mumbai-based hip-hop artist MC Mawali released a hard-hitting new Marathi single. Produced by fellow Swadesi member BamBoy featuring Robston Soares on didgeridoo, Shambhar Bars is a scathing critique of the increasing commercialisation of Indian hip-hop and a deep-dive into the issues facing every Maharashtrian today. Speaking directly to the people of Maharashtra, MC Mawali delivers one of his best performances on the microphone, rapping like a man possessed and exposing the hidden agendas that have compounded the issues plaguing the state and its citizens today. Shambhar Bars adds to Swadesi’s catalogue of conscious hip-hop and serves to underline their commitment to use their music to highlight issues that get sidelined by the country’s lapdog media.
