Afrika BambaataaYou put music in categories because you need to define a sound, but when you don't play it on your so-called radio stations that claim to be R&B or jazz or whatever... All music is dance music. But when people think of dance music, they think of techno or just house. Anything you can dance to is dance music. I don't care if it's classical, funk, salsa, reggae, calypso; it's all dance music.

Afrika BambaataaI am one of the founders of Hip-Hop along with my brothers Kool DJ Herc and Grandmaster Flash.
