...community hangs over Shame like a doting parent. As Sanghera notes, nobody really knows how many young people in Britain are pressured into matches they don't want. The British government's Forced Marriage Unit deals with more than 250 cases a year, but Sanghera's group, Derby-based Karma Nirvana, alone takes on seven new ones a week. Police in Britain are investigating scores of suspected "honor killings" of women resisting arranged marriages.

Their newest album, entitled Oye, has an anthem called, literally, Protest Song (Canci?n Protesta in the original Spanish). Other lyrics tend towards love and karma and the cosmos. It sounds like it could be the worst combination of the politically trite with the New Age - but it's not. The Aterciopelados have been the critical darling of the rock en espa?ol scene for good reason. And their work simply gets better with every passing album...
