BPM (Bass Poetry Music) is a dirty fusion of hip hop, bhangra and dancehall. Tarun Nayar of "Delhi to Dublin" and "Beats Without Borders" juggles beats on turntables and palpitates rhythms on tabla. he has a rep for making the crowd need to step. Nadia Chaney scales all tall lyrics in a cynical bound, wrapping words like bondage. She brings the boisterous, magnetic combination of MC, poet and cultural activist. Rupinder Singh illuminates the stage with his combustible presence, hype verbal currency and fly jet engines. He is BPM's primary beatsmith, ruckus producer and magic coordinator. This trio brings a fierce global perspective both to the music and the message.
