Musician Luca Stricagnoli gets into the hip hop groove with his cover of Dr. Dre and Eminem’s “Forgot About Dre” on a meld of an instrument – the Ganjo.
He says, “One more experiment where I convert a hip hop song into a guitar arrangement. Well, actually this time it’s an arrangement for Ganjo (Guitar-Banjo), which still has 6 strings by the way. Dr. Dre is one of the most influential artists in the hip-hop scene, and in “Forgot About Dre” he collaborated with Eminem himself. Of course, the result could only be a really cool song, which gave me quite some motivation in a particular period of my life. I know rap songs can sound quite strange when performed on a Ganjo, but what can I say…I had so much fun doing this!”
