„The Rock and Roll Nigger Experience” was the original title of AFROPUNK documentary. The film follows the lives of four people who have dedicated themselves to the punk rock lifestyles. They find themselves in conflicting situations, living the dual life of a person of color in a mostly white community.

„The lifestyle is pretty much trying to make reality of your angst against society.”

„My mother wouldn’t go like shopping with me.”

featuring members of Bad Brains, B-52’s, Cro-Mags, Dead Kennedys, Dirtbombs, Fishbone and many more young punk and hardcore bands

But Afropunk is not only a documentary, it’s a community.

If you know The Pussywarmers then you will be surprised. There is no trace of the punk swing. Chansons, folk ballads, psychedelic beats, rocks and seagulls on a tropical coast. I like this better than the previous albums, but one thing is missing for me, the polyglotry.
