What is Once Upon a Time in New York about?
How the squalid streets of '70s New York gave birth to music that would go on to conquer the world - punk, disco and hip hop. Inspired by the Velvet Underground, a new wave of 'punk' rock emerged in lower Manhattan. Meanwhile, downtown loft parties heralded the birth of disco, which would eventually spawn the ultimate club for the privileged few: Studio 54. But the swanky mid-town discos were out of bounds to black New York, so in the Bronx DJs created their own parties, heralding the birth of hip hop.
