KNAK presenta su nuevo single Orgániko y anticipa tour por Argentina

Uruguay for export

KNAK es un músico oriundo de la ciudad de Melo, a 600 km de Montevideo (Uruguay). En su corta pero intensa carrera ha demostrado que no importa la ubicación geográfica para hacerse un lugar en el mapa de la industria musical. El artista se proyecta como una de las voces más destacadas de la nueva generación del trap y subgéneros en Uruguay y Argentina.

Ha pisado varios de los escenarios más importantes de su país y participado en diferentes festivales, mostrando gran calidad artística con su potente show en vivo. Viene de participar en la primera edición del @primaverasoundbuenosaires , abrió el show a @rip.dillom en la Sala del Museo en 2022 y el de @duki en el Velódromo de Montevideo el pasado 6 de mayo, ante 15.000 personas.

En sus canciones, KNAK experimenta con sonidos frescos, y se diferencia de otras propuestas del trap y subgéneros por un sonido soft con el que transmite delicadeza y tranquilidad al oyente, y en las que despliega su gran versatilidad a la hora de componer.

"Orgániko" adelanta -y da el nombre- el inminente nuevo disco del joven artista uruguayo, con fecha de salida a fines de mayo y producido por @taduvazquez . Es la única canción de los 8 tracks del álbum que no tiene colaboraciones, compuesta íntegramente por KNAK, en la que manifiesta un profundo agradecimiento por todo lo positivo que la música le está entregando: "Mucho tiempo invertido en un sueño, muchas vivencias que me han formado como persona y artista. Hoy estamos creciendo, dejando huella y tratando de llevar a lo más alto la bandera de mi país. Este mixtape es una parte de mí como cada canción que escribo. El futuro es hoy, y somos nosotros: ORGÁNIKO."

I also reread an old request for dragon fae knak reader. And now I'm just picturing big brother Malleus.

He's a prince and a dragon so he is very spoiled and possessive. You're *his* baby sibling. He found you before anyone else.

He let's you have friends in the school as long as they prove themselves. Which just means survives the platonic shovel talk. It makes the amount of friends you have smaller but of a stronger sort.

He spends months easily finding you your own knight. He had his who would also protect you, Lilia seeing you as his own even; but worse case he'd feel better knowing you have someone to rush you to safety over himself.... if he couldn't usher you away himself.

Big brother malleus who wants you to have a happy healthy life, but has to constantly fight those dragon instincts to hide you away until you were grown.

Thinking about Knak Twst again. Just picturing the days when reader is sad. Not crying, but the quiet forlorn sad. The boys don't know why but your mood has spread to the campus as a whole. Even Malleus who rarely felt the moods of others effecting him felt it.

The rumor mill went to work, maybe it was your birthday and they'd all forgotten? Some said you missed someone from your home. But then one well meaning fool mentioned, "Maybe someone picked on them?"

Reader is well loved in the school, but accidents happened. And from that catching wind there is a school wide witch hunt.

The first student cornered is Ace. While yes he had spent arguably the most time as your friend, he also for several months tried to convince everyone that you a young child really were an adult. So maybe he had some secret thing against you? Or maybe he just teased you a bit too hard. Who with siblings hadn't done so in the past?

Still poor Ace had to run for his life. The 'nameless mobs' as Idia dubbed them chased him threatening to kick his ass.

For once he was innocent too! He hadn't pulled any pranks or stolen anything lately. Sure he only stole a pen one time but Azul had nearly made it seem he stole the mer's prized contracts. So that rumor got out of hand. But he was innocent this time!

His Savior for once wasn't you as they chased him away from you, it was Riddle. He would hate that later when he wasn't being saved from a mob.

Ace is more then happy to answer any questions now that the mob wasn't out for Blood this second. So when he was cleared the mob was looking for someone else to blame.

You are unaware. All you know is the campus was really quiet for a few days and now it sounded like a war game.

So I feel like it's time to spread a little Jewish love, old school style!

Here's a little bit of history that I just found out about while researching something else!

Spotlight: Jewish Fighters!

From left: Bummy Davis and the wrestlers Max Krauser and Martin Levy. 

Ever hear of a “Knak” (A hard punch), a “Shtaysl” (uppercut), and “Der gubernator” (Jabbing one’s thumb into a foe’s rib cage)? These are all Yiddish terms used for moves in boxing and wrestling. 

Jews, who had been denied most labor jobs and limited to desk work or small jobs, were often seen as scrawny, small, and weak. The intense studious life of studying Torah and furthering their education also left them stereotyped as intellectual book nerds in glasses that would be knocked over in a gentle breeze. 

What people don't think of is street smart men with fists of steel. 

“[...] but there was always an element of the working class that was tough and street smart and worked with their hands and fought with their hands.” -(Eddy Portnoy, creating of the exhibit at Yivo Institute) 

Let’s head back to the 1930s and 1940s when Jewish immigration from Russia and Europe was reaching a peak. Families fled the growing violence and antisemitism and their children faced a new world and the need to assimilate into this new culture. 

Boxing became an escape that grew among the Jewish community and quickly gained popularity. 

"Zionist and political organizations sponsored boxing and wrestling clubs, and after World War II there were boxing clubs in the refugee camps set up by the Allies." 

Several became big names that became well known in most homes. 

Jews became the dominating nationality in professional prizefighting during the 30s and 40s. There were 26 Jewish world champions! 

Many wore the Star of David on their robes and trunks as a way to represent their Jewish heritage and defy Antisemitism. 

Al "Bummy" Davis, born Albert Abraham Davidoff was born in Brooklyn. As a kid, he kept lookout for his father, who sold whiskey during prohibition.

He turned into one of the toughest kids in his area. While his brothers fell into work with the local gang, not even the gang would mess with him. 

The name 'Bummy' was actually from his Hebrew nickname "Vroomeleh" given to him by his mother (diminutive of Avrum) that was picked up as Vroomy by his family and friends. Davis apparently was not really a fan of it. 

He was known as one of the most powerful left hooks in boxing history and won many of his matches with a total knockout hit.

Max Krauser was born in Poland. 

His family owned a tannery where he helped haul the animal skins around. 

He went to college and majored in science until he attended a wrestling match at his college. 

Randomly jumping into the ring, he defeated the German heavyweight and decided to become a professional wrestler. 

His mentor was Zishe Breibart (I'll do a piece on him later), a famous strongman that was also Jewish and a hero to millions. 

He quickly became a renowned wrestler throughout Europe where he was the Heavyweight wrestling champion from 1935-1938 until the political atmosphere became too much. He moved to Australia then eventually the USA in 1939, 

In America, he was known as "Iron-Head Krauser".

Benny Leonard, born and raised in a Jewish Ghetto in Lower East Side Manhattan and son of Russian immigrants, held the world lightweight championship for eight years from 1917-1925! He later turned his boxing career into a film career. ("The Evil Eye" 1920, and "Flying Fists" 1924-25). 

Barney Ross (Dov-Ber Rasofsky) was the Son of a Talmudic scholar who barely escaped a pogrom in Belarus. Once in New York, his father was a Rabbi and owner of a vegetable shop in Chicago. Barney became a Talmudic scholar with the goal to teach. When his father was murdered in a robbery, his mother suffered a breakdown, and his younger siblings were placed in orphanages, Barney fell out of religious practice but never lost his Jewish pride.

Barney started running with tough crowds in the ghetto and got into street brawling and running with Al Capone himself! 

With the rise of Nazism and Hitler, Barney took a stance against antisemitism and embraced the fact that he was becoming a well known representative of the Jewish community. His song that played when he entered the ring was "My Yiddishe Momma". 

He became a world champion in three weight divisions. He was never knocked out and held his title against big time champions. His last match is quite the famous one where he refused to stop the fight despite the fact that he was taking a severe pounding. He refused to go down and was determined to leave the ring on his own feet. He retired with 72 wins, 22 of them were won by knockout!

He joined the Marines in 1942 and despite being told to stay on US soil as a celebrity, he insisted on going into combat where he was awarded the Silver Star. 

(Check out his biography- Barney Ross: The Life of a Jewish Fighter, by Douglas Century and his autobiography No Man Stands Alone.) 

Martin "The Blimp" Levy was a wrestler that weighed an astonishing 600 Lbs! 

He started his early career in a sideshow as the "Fat Man" at Coney Island! 

Despite his massive size, he was astonishingly agile. He is known as one of the first "Giants" of wrestling and helped pave the way for others of his size and character. 

Rafael Halperin, the son of a Viennese Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi came into the picture when his family fled to Mandatory Palestine to escape antisemitism and violence. 

Rafael took up weightlifting and karate along with his intensive Talmudic studies. He moved to the US and became a renowned wrestler that was known for his Talmudic riddles and for his refusal to fight on the Sabbath. 

Halperin also helped organize Israel's first Mr. Israel bodybuilders competition. 

He wore a blue and white wrestling outfit with the Star of David across it. In America, he fought under the name "Mr. Israel" and "The Rasslin' Rabbi". 

In Israel, he is credited with popularizing professional wrestling. 

After he retired from wrestling, he became a Rabbi.
