Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, better known as M.I.A., is an alternative dance/hip-hop artist known for her rapping and political music. As a baby, she moved with her family to their native Sri Lanka, where her father became increasingly politically active in militant activities. As the Sri Lankan Civil War escalated, the rest of the family was forced to flee as refugees, first to India and then the United Kingdom. "M.I.A." ("Missing in Action") references both her London neighborhood, Acton, and her politically tumultuous youth. |
