Canyon Cody and Sean Dwyer were interviewed on NPR’s “All Things Considered” on August 4th for a story about Granada Doaba.
Granada Doaba is the story of 16 immigrant musicians from around the world who fell in love with Granada, Spain.
Everyone except for Juan Habichuela (nieto), a native (greatgreatgrand) son of Granada’s gypsy neighborhood, El Sacromente. Part of the 5th generation of flamenco guitarists in the illustrious Habichuela family history, the 20 year-old phenom is the grandson (nieto) of legendary guitarist Juan Habichuela, winner of the 2008 Spanish Grammy award for best Flamenco album.
Juan collaborated with Gnawledge on 2 songs for Granada Doaba: a traditional introduction “Flamencología” and an electronic fusion “La Lengua del Rio”
Vocals from K’naan’s “ABCS” mash-ed with the instrumental “La Senda del Abuelo” from our hip-hop flamenco album Granada Doaba, featuring Gnawledge bredren Afro DZ ak on trumpet and Mohammed Dominguez on the darbuka drum.
Based in Granada, French rapper Kaya can def rhyme in Spanish, but the Nantes-native really shows off her gift of gab when she flows in her mother tongue.

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).
Gnawledge Records is an outernational hip-hop collective, online since 1954.
