medium article 2 min

Der US-amerikanische Hip-Hop-Pionier Afrika Bambaataa ist im Alter von 68 Jahren in Pennsylvania gestorben. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch seinen Hit "Planet Rock" aus dem Jahr 1982. Bambaataa, geboren als Lance Taylor in der Bronx, begann seine Karriere mit Blockpartys und gründete 1973 die Universal Zulu Nation, um durch Hip-Hop friedliche Werte zu vermitteln. Sein Tod löste weltweit Beileidsbekundungen aus, die seinen Einfluss auf das Genre würdigten. Allerdings gab es gegen Bambaataa auch Vorwürfe sexuellen Missbrauchs von Minderjährigen in den 1980er- und 1990er-Jahren, die er bestritt. Die Universal Zulu Nation entschuldigte sich 2016 bei den mutmaßlichen Opfern.
