History has been made. Right now - this very moment - is a testament to millennia of human achievement. Finally, the vast expanse of this galaxy will no longer be considered the largest zoo in the universe. Not a single eagle was required. Peter stayed home with Mopsy, Flopsy, and Cotton-tail; where all good rabbits belong. Instead it was MOM that undertook the risk, and was handsomely rewarded by orbiting the Martian surface in the name of science, country, and destiny. With just one attempt the Indian space program accomplished what was once thought nearly impossible and succeeded in reaching the red planet. If nothing else, MOM's voyage is more evidence for the why space is still the place...
...albeit a puzzling attempt at bes. Look at the facts: Earlier this year, the Indian government elected a new chief executive; and with this new administration came a desire for revisiting diplomatic shortcomings. Thus it would only seem natural for Mr Modi to open a dialog with Damagical - representatives of the Martian foreign ministry who visited Luanda, Angola, Earth a month ago. Pharao Naldanger (possessor of seizure-worthy abdominal muscles) and the King of Love (cut-off jean truther) carry with them the potential to be misunderstood. But the message hidden beneath their potential is hardly hostile, rather it is one of mega-parties and inter-space cooperation of which governments dream.
But Damagical has still not been acknowledged by representatives of earthly governments. And as such, the movement must continue to grow its grassroots strong. Dizona Crew just happens to be the latest group to show solidarity, releasing a "Bella me Tarraxa" remix yesterday. Like the Suaviicoxx x PDDG effort which precedes this release, the Sétubal-based DZC crew opts for a re-fix approach; original intent is maintained while the manipulators instill personal touches. Both the melody and zouk beat remain intact. The song's Angolan essence, too, is spared a change. Save for the odd hit-hat and crash cymbal, DZC opts for primarily West African percussion. The most interesting moments, though, are saved for the hook parts. In addition to syncopated finger snaps and vocal samples, high-pitched synths and miscellaneous percussion are heard. The end result is an immaculately remix well-worth the download.
