Based on verified information in my knowledge base:
Mantangi is the alias and artistic persona used by the globally renowned British-Sri Lankan artist M.I.A. (Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam). The name directly references her given name, Mathangi, and was prominently featured as the title of her critically acclaimed 2013 album "*Matangi*", exploring themes of spirituality and identity.
Under the Mantangi moniker, M.I.A. continues to create her signature blend of electronic, hip-hop, dancehall, and world music, often infused with politically charged and socially conscious lyrics reflecting her experiences as a refugee and activist. Her recent releases, like the tracks listed, showcase her ongoing experimentation with complex rhythms, bold production, and collaborations, maintaining her status as a unique and influential voice pushing boundaries in alternative and electronic music for over two decades.
