Response
Song Description: "Bird Flu" by M.I.A.
Released in 2007 as part of her second album Kala, "Bird Flu" is a high-energy, experimental track that blends elements of bhangra, South Asian folk music, and electronic dance beats. The song features chaotic percussion, dissonant vocals, and politically charged lyrics delivered in M.I.A.’s signature style. The track reflects themes of resistance and global turmoil, aligning with her bold, genre-defying aesthetic. The use of traditional drumming, children’s chants, and raw, unpolished production gives it a primal, urgent feel.
