Michael Viner’s Incredible Bongo Band - Bongo Rock

“Bongo Rock” is significant, for being one of the musical cornerstones of rap ... it is certainly
one of the most sampled LP’s in history, if not the most sampled. Almost every history-
minded hip-hop DJ has a copy, and the first few bars of “Apache,” can send crowds into
overdrive.” According to Kool Herc, the stylistic pioneer many people consider to be the
father of hip-hop music, the Bongo’s “Apache” is “the national anthem of hip-hop.” NY Times.

Continuously sampled, including by Nas, Beastie Boys, Moby, Mick Jagger, Kanye West,
