People tend to box the brown community in the UK into one bracket. But it's not a T-shirt that you shove into a drawer in your cupboard meant only for the garment. The diaspora, to extend the metaphor, includes jackets, shoes and trousers as well. There are Indians. There are Pakistanis, too. There are Bangladeshis and people from the Middle East. And all these different groups constitute a complex curry of sorts as opposed to a bland plate of fish and chips, each adding their own flavour to the British population.

That's the message that More Arriving, UK-based NRI Sarathy Korwar's powerful debut album, is sending out with a mix of eclectic songs that show how brown people in Great Britain come in different shades. Mumbai, in fact, is the genesis for the compositions. Sitting in London in 2016, Korwar got wind of the city's burgeoning hip-hop scene. So he took a flight and deep-dived into the circuit, hand-picking collaborators with a son-of-the-soil attitude to rap music. They include MC Mawali and Trap Poju, and later Delhi Sultanate and Prabh Deep from the national capital. These are some of the people — outside of Londoner Zia Ahmed and Abu Dhabi's Deepak Unnikrishnan — who provided the vocal and lyrical foundations on which the album rests. The music, though, is a complex mix of jazz and, if you really keep an ear out for it, Hindustani classical, with a sprinkling of electronica added to the mix. And the overall product is a hard-hitting offering that slams the idea that all brown people living abroad can be painted with the same brush.
