I met Will walking down Calle Elvira with a bottle of wine in my hands and dreams of pasta in my head. Usually I get tunnelvisioned when I'm hungry, but something caught my ear as I rushing home from the chino: a young guy sitting on the ground playing the keyboard and rapping, real quitelike, almost under his breath. What sparked my double-take was when I realized he wasn't busking, no upturned hat full of coins. He wasn't paying much attention to the passer-byers, so that he didn't notice me stop until I started playing along with him, tap-tap-tapping a Euro coin on mi botella de Ribera del Duero.
Mighty Om - Alphabet Yoga
He was singsonging an alphabet rhyme (ala Gift of Gab), which we re-recorded a few days later at our Damasqueros studio. Me and Will share an affinity for hip-hop wrt jazz, free will wrt sub-atomic physics, and global injustice wrt market economics.
On-stage, Will is the Mighty Om. We did a concert together at the Booga Club in Granada a few weeks back. In the video he's rapping over Dj Doble Gota's beat, sharing the mic with Kaya, an MC from France living in Granada.
As I type, we're cuttin up Antonio Machin . . .
