Hanumankind has always danced to the beat of his own drum, but this past weekend, he invited the world to his party at Coachella. Playing at 8:25 p.m. on the Mojave stage on Saturday, he brought out Chenda drummers, who immediately put the crowd in awe with their drumming skills.

While Hanumankind was fighting a cold, he was pleased to be at the most influential festival in the world and let everyone know it was his first time performing a full set in the US. He even brought out Texas rapper Maxo Kream for a preview of a track they have together.

Towards the end, the Chenda drummers were summoned to the stage again as Hanumankind finished his set off with his two biggest hits, ‘Big Dawgs’ and ‘Run It Up,’ as he proved that South Asian Hip Hop deserves to be on the biggest stage in the world.
