Raw Mango drops a handloom rap
Designer Sanjay Garg and rapper A-KAL (aka tennis player Adil Kalyanpur) on Raw Mango’s rap song Handloom Y’All and reimagining India’s textile heritage
Raw Mango, a fashion and textile label, has teamed up with Indian rapper and tennis player Adil Kalyanpur (A-KAL) for a rap track titled "Handloom Y’All". The song celebrates India's living textile traditions and aims to bring handloom into the global fashion conversation. Garg, the designer behind Raw Mango, believes that handloom should be seen as an ongoing dialogue between the past, present and future, rather than a fixed tradition.
The collaboration is not just aimed at the fashion community or music fans, but also at people who have never thought about handlooms before. Handlooms symbolize India's cultural identity and are one of the country's greatest strengths. The song aims to reinterpret the Khadi and handloom legacy for a generation that may not be familiar with its history.
