Birdy Nam Nam is a DJ crew from France whose members are Crazy-B, DJ Pone, DJ Need, and Little Mike. Birdy Nam Nam has won several prizes throughout their career including the DMC Technics 2002 World TEAM Championships. Birdy Nam Nam's goal is to use the turntable player as an actual musical instrument. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2006 on Uncivilized World Records, and in March of that year, they performed at the internationally-renowned music conference SXSW. The group's name is taken from a line in the 1968 Peter Sellers film The Party, directed by Blake Edwards.
They gain their music from friends, owned albums, and press beats and patterns into vinyl to assemble their music live.
Birdy Nam Nam's song "Trans Boulogne Express" hit main stream when it appeared in the movie Transporter 3.
Cynometra cauliflora or commonly Nam-nam is a native of Malaysia, grown mainly in northern Peninsular Malaysia and can be more widely cultivated in other states, mainly in kampongs and villages. This tree belongs to the bean family. It is a small tree with a thick much branched stem. The flowers are rather small about 1.2 cm across. They appear on the stem in clusters.
Each leaf is made up of 2 leaflets, which if not examined closely may appear as 2 leaves. The leaflet is asymmetrical in shape measuring 5-15cm long and 2.5-7.5cm wide. It is shiny smooth, dark green above and paler below.
The fruits are kidney-shaped, 5-10cm long and 5cm wide.The pod does not split open readily, but a line is visible along the fruit and divides it into two. The texture of the fruit surface is rough and wrinkled, pale greenish/yellow and dull looking. The flesh is juicy and yellow in colour. It produces a smell and tastes sourish. The seeds are large.
The tree is always multiplied by seed, although it can be propagated by budding, approach grafting and other methods.
