AFRIKA BAMBAATAA (Zulu Nation, NYC)
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. He has consistently made records
nationally and internationally, every one to two years, spanning the 1980's
into the new millennium.
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.
