who are the Gorillaz?
June is Black Music Month!
so I wanted to highlight who has made the Gorillaz what they really are…
these are not the Gorillaz:
I would argue that even Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn are not the Gorillaz.
from their very inception, the Gorillaz have been made possible by those who Albarn and Hewlett collaborate with. their unique and interesting sound is the result of a multitude of musicians working together.
approximately two thirds of their collaborators have been black musicians
THESE are the Gorillaz that we love so dearly:
so Gorillaz fans, let’s spend some time this month listening to what else these artists have created!
below the cut I list all of these artists and the songs they’re featured in, find your favorite songs and give these collaborators a listen!
