Download the album: “Granada Doaba”
A few years ago… Canyon Cody went to Spain on a Fulbright Scholarship. He went to study the global roots of flamenco. But along the way he started another project.
It began when his friend … the rapper and producer ‘Gnotes’ — real name Sean Dwyer — arrived in Granada. Together they built a recording studio there. Canyon Cody and Gnotes wanted to take traditional flamenco sounds and combine them with hip hop.
The result is their new album, ‘Granada Doaba.’ Canyon Cody and Gnotes dropped by recently to talk about their project.
Gnotes told me their studio was located in an appropriate spot.
