Gaana is kind of like the Tamil slum version of rap. M.I.A. does some Gaana on her newer CD ("Bird Flu" definitely has a gaana feel to it), but I've been looking for more authentic stuff and I can't find any. I've heard some Dappan Koothu drumming and seen some films that have gaana-like songs, but the real thing is supposedly a lot more visceral than those movies get. I just don't know where I can listen to/buy any of it. Does anybody know?
