• Orishas: Discovering Cubano Hip Hop

  I discovered Cubano hip hop group, Los Orishas accidentally reading the Metro to work last Friday. Of course, I read every word of the article, absorbed by the review/preview; they were performing in London this weekend. I am now seriously disappointed that I didn't know in advance, since I have rampaged through the iTunes Music Store, and now find myself enthralled with this unique music.

• Artist Overview: Chuck Berry

  Rock 'n' roll begins with Chuck Berry. His only real competition would be Elvis Presley. Berry's legacy, in terms of inventing the style that informed the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys and their contemporaries and that of their progeny; in terms of his songwriting legacy, his invention of rock guitar, his marriage of juke joint blues and rockabilly, is even greater than the King's himself. He is the most indispensible rock 'n' roll artist of them all.
