Lesson #11:

Afrika Bambaataa
“Planet Rock” (5.7MB)

There would probably be no hip-hop as we know it without Afrika Bambaataa. That’s all I have time to say about this artist. It’s more of that electro sound that got me hooked on hip-hop in the first place.

MP3 files are posted for evaluation purposes only. Availability is limited: one week from the day of posting. Through this series, I’m trying to educate, share my passion for good music, and promote that good music to others, who will also hopefully continue to support these artists. Everyone is encouraged to purchase music and concert tickets for the artists you feel merit your hard earned dollars. If you hold copyright to one of these songs and would like the file removed, please let me know.
