One thing that the Long household is full of is Books and Music! The hubby and I play music all the time. From Jazz,Gospel,and Reggae,your bound to hear music of some kind. So there's no surprise that Masai loves all types of music,and dancing. However Break Dancing(as he calls it Dance Break),is his all time favorite. So last year we decided to go to the library and check out some books about this amazing dance,and the beautiful era it came from.
So for Melanated History Month we decided to study DJ Kool Herc! Was from the Bronx,and to stay out of trouble he turned to music. One of his favorite things to do was spin records. He would play breaks back to back so the music would go on and on! He would shout out his friends names,and make little rhymes to go along with it. He is just one of many Melanated people who came up with this style of Music and Dance in the late 60's and 70's that is still very much alive and still popular today.
