Afrika Bambaataa!


Just this last Wednesday I got to have an intimate Q&A with one of hip-hop's fathers, the one and only Afrika Bambaataa. The session was held in a small club on the north side of San Antonio, Texas and hosted by the Red Bull Music Academy. the whole time I was just blown away by the fact that a bona-fied legend was sitting less than 10 feet away from me. Nonetheless the session was informative and kind of unforgettable, delving into the origins of the genre, as well as the rising popularity which then evolved into the biggest cultural phenonomon of the past quarter century.
