Now this should be a historic meeting of the musical minds. In one corner you have Madisonâ??s own Clyde Stubblefield, the original funky drummer for James Brown who has contributed some of the most indelible, most imitated, most honored beats on the face of the earth. In the other corner you have Jamaican-born DJ Kool Herc, one of the founders of hip-hop. Brought together by a project from Ethiopian-born, Detroit-raised musician Mike E called AfroFlow that celebrates the African heritage of hip-hop, this free show should be one for the ages. Itâ??s being put on by the UW-Madisonâ??s First Wave Spoken Word and Hip Hop Community as a way to welcome its fourth class of incoming freshmen.
