AFRIKA BAMBAATAA - NYC
The Amun-Ra of Universal Hip-Hop Culture
Father of the Electro Funk Sounds
Named by LIFE Magazine as one of the MOST IMPORTANT Americans of the 20th Century, Afrika Bambaataa is a Musical visionary, DJ extraordinaire, living legend and founder of the Zulu Nation. Afrika Bambaataa has done more for the culture and music of hip-hop than most could dream of. In fact, he's actually the person responsible for coining the term "Hip Hop" in reference to the movement. The man behind Hip Hop/Electro Funk classic 'Planet Rock' over the years has worked with everyone from James Brown, to George Clinton, to Boy George, to Tribe Called Quest and even ex-Sex Pistol John Lydon among MANY others. Bambaataa's futuristic soundscapes have taken listeners by surprise, becoming a major influence in the development of not only hip-hop, but Techno and House music as well. Recent collaberations have seen him co-produce tracks with the likes of Leftfield and Uberzone among others. Still extremely active, he continues to record, tour and educate, maintaining his status as a living legend and forefather of the art. In October 2006, Bam was honored for his incredible achievements by VH1 at the annual 'Hip Hip Honors' show. Fellow honorees included The Beastie Boys, Russell Simmons, MC Lyte, Wu Tang Clan, Rakim, Eazy-E and Ice Cube. In 2008, Bam was one of 9 people nominated for induction into the Rock n Roll hall of fame, alongside Madonna, The Beastie Boys, Leonard Cohen, John Melloncamp, Donna Summer and others. Don't miss this opportunity to catch a true living legend in action!
