Planet Rock

The outrage of punk rock faded during the early 1980s, and mainstream music recovered its composure, filling arenas across the world with classic rock sounds and heavy metal power. But a new, sparse sound with a style all its own was bubbling up from the street, bringing a combination of tough, urban attitude and cool electronic sophistication to rock and roll. Planet Rock, the final episode in BBC's 10-part series Dancing in the Street, traces the development of rap and electrofunk from their roots in the streets of the Bronx to their branches all over the globe.
