How 'Apache' Became Hip-Hop's National Anthem

Incredible true story of how forgotten 1960s instrumental inspired by Cowboy movie became one of most sampled breaks in history. Before it was backbone of block parties and sampled by everyone from Nas to Missy Elliott, Apache started as moody Western-inspired tune by British songwriter, then got reimagined by Hollywood hustler, reborn in Bronx park and immortalised on dance floor by Will Smith and Carlton Banks. This is wild, globe-spanning story of how one record travelled world to inspire new genre of music and why, decades later, someone, somewhere, is still dancing to Apache.
