About Bambaataa
Afrika Bambaataa is often referred to as the God Father of Hip Hop, born and raised in the Bronx, he was a member of the Black Spades gang in his early teens. He went on to form the Zulu Nation, dedicated to music and above all peace.
Bambaataa has cut many records over his career and experimented with many different types of music, such is the very essence of hip hop. The now classic 'Planet Rock' has been sampled by many artists over the years, just how many time have you heard the immortal 'Party People' sample used?
During his 'career' Afrika Bambaataa has remained an obscure artist in the mainstream, though many more famous people have worked with him, perhaps a mark of respect from within the music industry? These people include, James Brown. George Clinton, John Lydon (remember Jonny Rotten?), Sly & Robbie, UB40 and Boy George to name but a few.
