An Exclusive 3-hour Set by:
Afrika Bambaataa
(Godfather of Universal Hip Hop Culture /
Father of Electro-Funk Sounds)

Afrika Bambaataa is one of the three main originators of break-beat
deejaying, and is respectfully known as the "Grandfather" and
"Godfather" of Hip Hop Culture as well as The Father of The Electro
Funk Sound. Through his co-opting of the street gang the Black Spades
into the music and culture-oriented Zulu Nation, he is responsible
for spreading rap and hip-hop culture throughout the world.

Due to his early use of drum machines and computer sounds, Bam (as he
is affectionately known) was instrumental in changing the way R&B and
other forms of Black music were recorded. His creation of Electro
Funk, beginning with his piece "Planet Rock," helped fuel the
development of other musical genres such as Freestyle or Latin
Freestyle, Miami Bass,Electronica, House, Hip House, and early Techno.

Apollo (Triple Threat)
