Â鶹ԼÅÄ

As the 2019 Â鶹ԼÅÄ Proms draws to a close, we look back at one of the standout moments of the season: The Breaks.

On Friday 6 September, London's Royal Albert Hall saw the Heritage Orchestra, with Jules Buckley and special guests, slice up and reimagine those iconic tracks that spawned breaking and formed the origins of hip-hop - a culture that has risen from a single moment on the sidewalks of the Bronx nearly 50 years ago.

The concert featured historic and modern-classic breaking tunes from James Brown, Incredible Bongo Band, Babe Ruth, Herbaliser, Madcon, and Poets of Rhythm, alongside LIVE breaking crew 'Soul Mavericks’, UK turntable royalty DJ Switch, singer Mattiel and Alice Russell, and more.
