Fantastische Doku über die Geburtsstunde von HipHop, Disco und Punk – wann und wo? New York, in den Siebzigern, als der Big Apple gerade ziemlich morsch aussah. Es kommen Größen wie David Johansen, Patti Smith, John Cale, Richard Hell, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc, Nile Rodgers, Chuck D, Tommy Ramone, Chris Stein, Fab 5. Freddy, Lenny Kaye, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, Syl Sylvain, Nicky Siano, David Mancuso, DJ AJ, David Depino, Jayne County, Leee Childers, Nelson George, Victor Bokris und Vince Aletti zu Wort:

Inspired by the Velvet Underground, a new wave of ‘punk’ rock emerged in lower Manhattan including The New York Dolls, The Ramones and the Patti Smith Group. Meanwhile, downtown loft parties held by gay New Yorkers heralded the birth of disco, which would eventually spawn the ultimate club for the privileged few: Studio 54. The swanky mid-town discos were out of bounds to black New York so in the Bronx DJs such as Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa created their own parties, heralding the birth of hip hop.

Hier alle 4 Teile à 15 Minuten – besser als Alles, was das öffentlich Rechtliche jemals ausgestrahlt hat/ausstrahlen wird. :) Ein Pflichtwatch für alle, die mitreden wollen:
