Few musicians command as much respect across genres as Tom Morello. From reshaping protest music with Rage Against the Machine, to pushing Rap-Rock forward in Audioslave and Prophets of Rage, Morello’s career has always lived at the intersection of rebellion and innovation.

After a world tour spanning North America and Australia, Morello brought the run to a close with three dates in India. For the final show in Bengaluru, he saved something special—bringing out Hanumankind for a blistering Rap-Rock performance of ‘Big Dawgs.’

Morello’s sets are built on resistance. Songs like ‘Killing in the Name’ and ‘Bulls on Parade’ still detonate decades after their release, and the Indian crowds responded with ferocity. But when Hanumankind walked onstage, the energy shifted. ‘Big Dawgs’ slid seamlessly into the set, sounding less like a guest appearance and more like a manifesto. From the opening bars, the track hit as a declaration: “Wait a minute/Get it how you live it/Ten toes in when we standin’ on business.”

The collaboration felt inevitable. Hanumankind’s unapologetic presence matched Morello’s activist legacy beat for beat, proving that protest music doesn’t age—it evolves.

After tearing through his classics, Ozzy Osbourne covers, and a heartfelt Chris Cornell tribute, Hanumankind remained onstage as Morello closed the night with KISS’s ‘Rock and Roll All Night.’ It was a genre-spanning finale that underlined the point that Rap and Rock still speak the same language when the message is real.
