What do you get if you mix together.... REM's Michael Stipe, Indian Bollywood star Asha Bhosle, Kiwi singer Whirimako Black, traditional instruments including the Maori flute (Putorino) and African harp (Kora) and add some beats? I presume you've already guessed the answer is this song. 1 Giant Leap is the result of Duncan Bridgeman and Jamie Catto traveling the world and recording an assortment of artists and this is an example of how successful and creative they were. "The Way You Dream" is a unique blend of Indian, Maori and English singing to a mix of old traditional and modern instruments and electronica beats. On paper you could easily think that there are far too many ideas for it to work, but the result is fantastic. Asha's voice is sensational and I can now see why 'Cornershop' wrote "Brimful of Asha" about her.
This is proof that the World is a beautiful place.
