Birth of a Culture: The 4 Elements Block Party | Bronx, NY

Grandmaster Flash, one of the founding fathers of hip-hop responsible for technical and stylistic innovations that helped shape its culture, is making a triumphant return to Crotona Park on August 4 for a monumental event: Birth of a Culture: The Four Elements Block Party. Flash is bringing several of his friends and fellow pioneers of the culture back to Crotona Park to celebrate their contributions to hip-hop which started in the Bronx and has evolved into a global phenomenon, yet is inexorably woven into the story of America.  This event is sponsored by Capital One and City Park Foundation and is apart of the Summerstage series at Crotona Park.  This is a free event.
