Trailer: Sample This – The Story Of The Incredible Bongo Band

Apache, the lead track from the Incredible Bongo Band’s 1973 debut album Bongo Rock, can be dubbed the most famous and arguably the most recognizably sampled song in hip hop history. The band, who made two instrumental albums of Latin and African influenced percussive-heavy music, is the subject of the new documentary Sample This. The 85-minute film tells the story of the unusual set of circumstances that turned their cult classic records, which Ringo Starr may or may not have been apart of recording, into a goldmine for hip hop break beats that are still be used in samples today.

Let’s check out the trailer…
