Granada Doaba remix project

Gnawledge's instrumental record Granada Doaba is done and the remix project has just barely begun, but we already got some amazing contributions...



First, a peek into the kitchen of French rapper Kaya while she practices lyrics over the Granada Doaba instrumental "Nunca Fui A Granada" [featuring Gnotes on the guitar + cajon]. Video recorded in the Albaicín (Granada, Spain)

Second, we got a wicked bilingual dance track from Moses, an MC from the nuAi tribe.

anyone else down for a collab?

Murs "Everyday" (Gnotes Remix)

Gnotes contributed a beat to the Murs remix contest. Always a dutiful rule-abider, Gnotes' instrumental contains no samples (as per stipulated); Gnotes plays live bass, guitar, accordion, bongos and MPC.

James Blunt? really?

Bohemia Al-Andalus [Yanng Remix]

The first Granada Doaba remix is from a Spanish MC named Yanng, who sharpened his canines performing every week with a live band at the Sunday JamSessions at BoogaClub in Granada (Spain).

Yanng came by the Gnawledge studio with his compañero Asis (video below) and freestyled over the instrumental "Bohemia Al-Andalus." Yanng went home with the beat his brain and scribed us a Doaba anthem:

"Eso no son rumbas de feria,
es una fusión de músicas serias.
Música antigua, ahora hecha nueva."

Much respect to Yanng for breaking the seal on the Granada Doaba remix project.

Anyone else interested? We got strumentals --> doaba@gnawledge.com

Kaya - Metaform Crush Remix

The producer Metaform is working with Gnotes and Elemental Zazen on both of their upcoming albums, but this here's just a likkle bootlegd remix of his track "Crush" from Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, one of my favorite albums of 2008.

Kaya [aka Cat Gomez] is a French MC based in Granada (Spain) who collaborated with Gnawledge on Granada Doaba. For the anglophonos in the room, she's rappin in français until 1:38 and then reboots into espangñol for the finish.

Metaform's blenditure of instrumental hip-hop and old-school funk is right up my cup o'tea alley. Support the artist.
