DAY 4 - COBATILLAS TO GRANADA

By bizarre coincidence, our first musician contact, Pepe Abellán of the Okónkolo Percussion Trio lives only 1km away. We will get a full performance and footage of the Trio on the way back north with Teo in september, but we want to record a demonstration of fundamental cajón rhythms for loop material. He explains the concepts behind Buleria, Tango flamenco, and also jams out some funky, 5/4, 7/8, and North African Tanguillo beats. Exciting and informative.

Next stop Granada, where we roam the streets in search of the best Tapas and sample some street musicians playing in the jardines overlooking the Alhambra.
