Monkey - I love Gorillaz and when I heard that Damon Albarn is involved in some stage musical, I had to check it out. Monkey: Journey to the West is a stage adaptation of the Chinese novel you know where there's Monkey God and Tripitaka whom everyone wants to eat. The musical was created by Chinese director 陈士铮, together with Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett while the original idea came from Jean-Luc-Choplin, head of the Chatelet Theatre in Paris. Would love to check out the musical someday but the soundtrack is rather dope with a rich mix of fusion music injected into it. You get Chinese vocals with European music backdrop courtesy of Damon Albarn and Co. Very interesting stuff and the artwork is also very Gorillazque. Check it out!01. Monkey’s World
