Beatboxing - The Fifth Element of Hiphop (NR)

synopsis

In the late 70s, a youth culture evolved in the poorer parts of New York, combining several disciplines under the name of Hip Hop. From the hardship of poverty and the lack of instruments, a pioneer was inspired to imitate drum rhythms with his mouth creating the term ‘Human Beatbox.' The documentary shows how this modern style of music has spread and how it continues to enrich the entertainment world.
