A decade or so ago, many Hollywood celebrities were seen wearing bindis to Coachella. It was definitely a whole lotta cultural appropriation taking place. But it seems that this year’s Coachella is a massive reclamation moment for us brown folks. Not only did the world get to witness Diljit Dosanjh perform at the music festival, but we also watched Ali Sethi win the crowd over with his iconic song Pasoori.

The singer performed along with rapper Raja Kumari and has even posted several pictures with the artist on his Instagram profile. In the carousel, there’s a video where he’s performing Pasoori as well.

So naturally, fans have flooded the comments section and Twitter by expressing their love for him and the song Pasoori.
