The basic idea of my Fulbright research project was that we could investigate Granada’s musical history though an exploration of confluent immigration paths. In Granada, it a physical nexus that brings together (human) musicians. On Granada Doaba it was through the methodology of sample-based hip-hop. I didn’t want to just record an audio essay of the various immigrant musicians in Granada, though that probably would have produced a more objective academic text. We wanted to learn by actively engaging the material we were studying, experimenting with new sounds and rhythms while we were still learning their basic properties.
