The Last Poets

The Last Poets performance at the British Library. The band formed in New York in 1968 against the backdrop of the black power movement. Hailing from the ghettos of Detroit, the Bronx, Queens and Akron Ohio, they were inspired by the diverse music around them and began performing on street corners, mixing fierce poems with funky conga rhythms.
