Man I was 14, getting high listening to this and this introduced me to so many different new genres I have never ever heard of before. Such as drum & bass. This paved the way for the music I make today. And everything is still the same except that I don't smoke or drink nowadays. This is brings back such good memories man. :')
The beginning lines are from a poem of Kazi Nazrul Islam. He is a Bengali poet, writer, musician and revolutionary. He is the national poet of Bangladesh.
@@pulakahmed You are so right that translation invariably diminishes culturally unique sentiments and ideas. However, it is my opinion that Kazi Nazrul, with this poem, has captured a quintessential aspect of the human condition and, as such, his meaning transcends language, culture, and indeed time and space. His notion of the ideal rebel is felt and understood by all of the oppressed of the world across peoples, nations, and continents. The Bengali people should indeed be most proud of his contribution to art and literature. His poem should be considered a world treasure, as such. I believe the Asian Dub Foundation proved it with this impressive lyrical masterpiece in English.
I love this song! I’m an Irishman who first heard this song when listening to “Community Music” when I was living in Australia in 2000. I’m now a teacher in Mexico, but I still play this song for my students. ADF are a perfect example of cross-cultural fertilisation and how immigration can keep a culture vital and vibrant. Too bad that instead the UK decided to turn to narrow nationalism and Brexit in the interim. It had been a leading country in Europe for integration prior to the London Olympics in 2012. No longer, alas. But, all hail to the Asian Dub Foundation. ✊🏽 🇮🇳 🇵🇰 🇧🇩 🇱🇰

What's the sorcery with this song.... whenever I have come to this song I have to listen to it on loop for days until get it out of my system... And so it's been for a decade+ ...how are they not making magic like this anymore ✨
@@OneAndOnlyMeThe racism posing as multiculturalism that allows misogynistic practices to go on in certain communities and promotes elderly, ignorant and reactionary "community leaders" as spokesmen for entire ethnic groups, further creating stereotypes. ADF work against all that. After examining their politics I have even more respect for them. In fact I am becoming obsessed.
Asian Dub Foundation with the first singer Deeder Zaman, is the only way, the best combination. Deeder Zaman without the Asian Dub Foundation gang, he is lame, he has no strength ... you both have to be together. Come on! Who is agree! Thumbs up!!!
Any Smethwick brothers from about 2000 to 2005 remember the meat van blasting this out on the Cape and red cow..the riot van with the alligator on the front
When ADF initially burst into the scene, in England, there was much euphoria, cause to celebrate this rebellious image and sound. Yet as seen in most cases, the band members strayed off to fend their own careers and the rest was eaten up and exoticized by institutions, mostly controlled and owned by white english folks. Now where is ADF? In terms of it's original force and spirit ?!
This band is my first pick to listen to Asian Underground. While pondering around on google for Jet Set Radio Future soundtracks for The Latch Bros. (AKA The Beastie Boys) soundtracks that they made for the game I decided I look for world music. Plus, listening to The Latch Brothers Bounce got me that vibe of Hindi or Asain beat for me so that is why I am here. Furthermore, this is big ups for me to put on my playlist very good songs I would say. 😉👍
Man someone needs to redo the video for this song, maybe even put it in the upcoming Beyond Good and Evil sequel or a movie. It deserves more attention.
One of the most underrated album I have ever heard, this is a 💎

It's the thought of this song and being a rebel warrior that gets me through life
Fantastic band here again June 3rd 2021 love from Bernie in the garden in Ireland
I've just heard this song for the first time, biggest smile on my face. What a beat, what a song, straight up fire.
Lyrics:
Ami bidrohi!
I the rebel warrior
I have risen alone with my head held high
I will only rest
When the cries of the oppressed
No longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
No longer rings in battle
Hear my war cry!
I'm hear to teach you a lesson
I'm hear to torture your soul
I'm the itch in your side that's got out of control
Gonna prey on your conscience
You'll be praying for forgiveness
Seen all the evidence
No longer need a witness
So take my word man
Here's my sentence
One hundred thousand years of repentance.
Check my anger, it's real
Ain't no token
I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken
It's my burning ambition to burn down your empire
Man I'll be building you a funeral pyre
The fire in my eyes
If looks coulda kill
I won't be satisfied until I've had my fill.
Check my anger, it's real
Ain't no token
I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken
Ami bidrohi!
I the rebel warrior
I have risen alone with my head held high
I will only rest
When the cries of the oppressed
No longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
No longer rings in battle
Hear my war cry!
Repetitive beats beating against your skull
I'll be striking you down
To the sounds of the wardrum
The doum!
The doum of the dhol
Taking it's toll
Null and void is what you've become
An underground army with my brothers and sisters
Hand to hand fighting
Building up a resistance
Repetitive beats beating against your skull
Null and void is what you've become
Ami bidrohi!
I the rebel warrior
I have risen alone with my head held high
I will only rest
When the cries of the oppressed
No longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
No longer rings in battle
Hear my war cry!
A radical fusion
Strange alliance
The siren and the flute in unison
'cause it?s a part of my mission
To break down division
Mental compartments
Psychological prisons.
I?ll be sowing the seeds of community
accommodating every colour every need
So listen to my message and heed my warning
I'm telling you know
How a new age is dawning
Ami bidrohi!
I the rebel warrior
I have risen alone with my head held high
I will only rest
When the cries of the oppressed
No longer reach the sky
When the sound of the sword of the oppressor
No longer rings in battle
Hear my warcry!
Ami bidrohi! ami bidrohi!
Yes the unity of the hindu and the muslim
Will end your tyranny
Ami bidrohi! ami bidrohi!

W for this
I have been a fan of this one for over a decade. Love you peps. Thank you to all that made this happen. More of this please.
This song (and Facts and Fictions) is to me still of the greatest pieces of music ever made.
This song is immune to all the oppressions I face from this filthy reality.
ADF to the rescue!
Me encanta e inspira mucho esta canción. Acá en Guatemala todos somos unos guerreros rebeldes porque así toca. Saludos mundo querido!!
Yes ! c'était bon ça ! 1996 ? 97 ? me souviens plus ...
wow . id forgotten how young these guys were when they first came to my attention!
It's amazing how good they were since the beginning!
the mc was 17 when the album came out
What's the sorcery with this song.... whenever I have come to this song I have to listen to it on loop for days until get it out of my system... And so it's been for a decade+ ...how are they not making magic like this anymore ✨

I keep coming back to this one!
If Kazi Natural is still alive, he would feel proud to see these guys and their performance. Bravo 👏

Such a great tune. Multi-culturalism at its finest. What happend to you UK? Next time someone says to you cultures don't mix, show them this.
Asian Dub Foundation make up for all the negative aspects of multiculturalism. They are the Britain's greats asset.
