Grammy nomination

Buika is a Grammy nominee for Best Latin Jazz Album for La Noche Más Larga.

Well you know it’s been good because up until everything I’ve been a part of has been really magic and small and completely unknown neighbourhood and family and place. My mom is Buvi; it’s a little, little, little tiny tribe. And my family was one of the most successful of the town village. And you know I feel all this had been a trick. I think from my past from my history, I’m not supposed to be here. I don’t know what’s going on.

I must have been in the middle of playing a loud trombone solo at a Saturday night gig when the text came into my phone saying “GRAMMY-nominated!!!” from my pianist friend, Dave Cook. I saw the message on the ensuing set break and wrote back, “WTF?! … That’s unexpected!” I had to go to GRAMMY.com to check it out myself. I think I refreshed the page three times until I started believing I was actually nominated.

Our biggest priority was the tight integration of music with the animation and live painting, so that all three elements would work together to tell the story in the best possible way. Danijel sent me a series of still images from the paintings that would be the basis of his animation. I wrote the music with those images very much in mind.
