Hello and Welcome again to Media Monday on Tuesday! I hope this Spring day finds you well. Today’s short film by Francisco is a tribute to the influential and much-loved hip hop band, A Tribe Called Quest. Formed in 1985, the group became extremely popular for their more positive and playful lyrics, rhythms, and nods to all kinds of music in their songs. A Tribe Called Quest released five albums before disbanding in 1998. Since then, however, they have come together several times to tour.
Sadly, on March 22, 2016, one of the members, Phife Dawg, passed away from complications of diabetes, aged only 45. This film reflects on both him and on the most unusual band of its time and genre of which he was a part.
