The very nature of the [Muslim] ban fueled Zeshan Bagewadi to release an homage to a powerful Civil Rights Era song just days after Trump’s initial immigration ban. The Indian-American and Muslim singer breathed new life into to George Perkins’ soulful track, “Cryin’ in the Streets. Perkins originally wrote the song in 1970 as a reaction to the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. More here. [Btw Zeshan wrote some of the music for my film A Thin Wall]
