AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Gaudi

Artist:Gaudi + Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Song:Mainoo Ole Bai Ke Pee Lain De
Album:Dub Qawwali





Italian producer Daniele Gaudi is mostly a remix guy and producer. When he occasionally records as Gaudi it's a collaboration with a specific musician. On this 2007 album it is Pakistani music legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He was born July 12, 1963 in Bologna, Italy. He started out in early 80s New Wave bands and then he joined the reggae band Bamboo Company and that started him in world music. He was also in Raptus, the first Italian hip hop group. He mixed dancehall reggae with electronics and called it Ragamuffin music. So that was a launching point for experimenting with all kinds of music. He released his first solo album in 1991. He became very successful in Italy and then he moved to London in 1995. He built his own studio and he does whatever he wants. As a producer he has worked with everyone from Desmond Dekker to Bill Frisell. And he still does plenty of remixes. On this 2007 album, Gaudi is collaborating with Pakistani music legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. So obviously the music is a mix of Khan's Qawwali and Gaudi's electronic dance beats. This album was very successful in clubs. Gaudi's latest album is with dub reggae producer Neil "Mad Professor" Fraser called Mad Professor Meets Gaudi. He has also recorded with Martin "Youth" Glover of Killing Joke and the French ambient music duo Deep Forest. And he has released a dub tribute to legendary Italian film composer Ennio Morricone. So he records a lot. Here's a video for Mainoo Ole Bai Ke Pee Lain De by Gaudi + Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
