While the song is called “En Memoria”, the intro to this is distinctively Hawaiian, and I know its sample source.
The song is from Elephant & Castle‘s forthcoming album, Transitions, to be released by Plug Research on March 13, 2012. “En Memoria” features Tune-Yards on vocals, but not the Hawaiian part.
Elephant & Castle is David Vincent, and he calls his album something on the ambient side, maybe even meditative. He cites DJ Shadow and Flying Lotus as influences. Listen.

Mr Book,
I remember you from the DJ Shadow list back in the day.
I’m not surprised you recognize the Hawaiian sample, but I couldnt place it. What is it from?
PEACE
Alex
