Guwahati Act Rain In Sahara and Liberia's Nasseman Team Up to Take Aim at 'Gangsta Bankers'

Guwahati electro-rock band Rain In Sahara and Liberian reggae artist Nasseman search for heroes in a world full of villains on their new collaboration, “Gangsta Bankers.” Released in late April, the track comes with a music video shot in Liberia and India, unfolding the tale of an incorrigible entrepreneur driven by greed even as he puts up a façade of helping the environment.

Packaged in a news bulletin format as they follow the businessman around his parties and resolute sense of apathy, “Gangsta Bankers” comes with a message to fight corruption. Rain In Sahara have teamed up with organizations such as Transparency International and the International Anti-Corruption Conference and also set up a page to spread awareness about the need to be vigilant.
