Hip hop
Hip Hop £¬traces its ancestry to surprising place-Jamaica.
And a decade before hip hop began jamaicans would dance at big out door parties
hosted by sound systems of a pile audio equipment and a truck runed by DJ,
a dish chuky. the one who pick the record to play them .
But more importantly with sometimes separate out the music
and then talk ,rap , toast over the original music breaks.
And this world was born the man who would become DJ cool her
and when his family moved to the bronx ,
his jamican toasting groups would infect the area with an approach to DJ music that created an entirely original music form.
Hip hop is original black American music whose origins are well known.
Time: the 1970s. Place:
the south Bronx The singers: rappers.
The music: DJs on turn tables.
The dance: break dancing.
The art: graffiti.
Where no musician could play music, record could do;
Where no DJ was around to speed records, B-Boxing will provide the Beat.
Never has an art form been so resourceful
that a group of people hanging out with no instruments could create complete dancing and painted back drums.
It was a straight revolution in music,
that set the world on fire and it¡¯s flames still aluminate dance parties the world over.
