Welcome to Funky Pearls, where we explore the timeless classics that shaped music history. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating evolution of the iconic track 'Apache,' from its origins with The Shadows to its influential role in hip-hop.
Written by Jerry Lordan and first recorded by Bert Weedon, 'Apache' gained fame when The Shadows released their version in 1960.
With Hank Marvin's distinctive guitar sound, it topped the UK charts for five weeks and became a defining instrumental of the pre-Beatles era.
Fast forward to 1973, and the Incredible Bongo Band's version of 'Apache' introduced an extended drum break that would become legendary in hip-hop.
Though initially overlooked, this version became a 'national anthem of hip-hop,' sampled by artists like Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill Gang, and Nas.
From its humble beginnings to becoming a cornerstone of multiple genres, 'Apache' is more than just a song—it's a cultural phenomenon that continues to inspire musicians across the world.
That’s all for today’s episode of Funky Pearls. Join us next time as we uncover more stories behind the music that moves us. Keep the funk alive!
