In 1977, five teenagers from the South Bronx witnessed the birth of hip-hop and the end of an entire musical era. While disco music maintained its hegemony in New York clubs, today's mainstream music is yesterday's underground music. With millions in the making, The Get Down attempts to recreate a largely forgotten era in hip-hop history, focusing on all the elements that define the genre.
When Baz Luhrmann, the director of The Great Gatsby, decided to tackle such a topic, all of us who know a lot about this music asked ourselves: Why should we trust a series directed by a 50-year-old white man? Australian?
Although it aired in 2016, Baz Luhrmann began researching this topic in 2006. He is surrounded by artists like Grandmaster Flash and Nas, as well as professional executive producers. Characters like The Grandmaster Flash, who invented DJ techniques like beat-mashing, became endless sources of inspiration and historical accuracy. The director also consulted with other consultants, including Raheim, the Furious Five, Curtis Blow and Afreeca Bambaataa, and told anecdotes that cannot be found in any history book. This gave him a connection to New York, where he could tell jokes and put on the show.
Get Down was produced by some of the best rappers of the time. That's enough, but you will also find names like the new king of soul music, the British Mikael Kinawuka, Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera, who worked with Florence Machine or Sia, and music producer Elliott Wheeler. Added to this is the charisma of actors like Justice Smith and Herizen Guardiola, who have starred in titles as diverse as Break the Locks and Set Me Free.
Despite the influence of the musical comedy West Side Story, viewers will not get bored of watching the series thanks to the combination of love story, song and dance. The Get Down embraces a specific musical culture, listening to hip-hop, disco and funk classics (Little Beaver, Donna Summer, Stevie Wonder, The Last Poets, Sugarhill Band, etc.).
The importance of disco music is not denied, but rather highlighted. Ruby Con Club was a reference to Studio 54 at the time as a place where some celebrities and artists gathered for drug parties.
sit down It's the 70s, crack is killing dozens of people every day in New York, Jimmy Carter's government distracts the attention of minorities by shooting each other and some kids in the middle are turning this reality into something that no one dares to do. there is. . You could call it modern. - Jump and jump.
